2:26 p.m.: News of a baby’s birth is greatly exaggerated. The stripper-accuser is still pregnant. Not due until February. She was knocked up after the alleged gang-rape.
Update III (12/15): Last night, FOX News reported that the stripper-accuser had a baby recently. Independent Conservative has linked to video and said yesterday was “exactly 9 months to the day of that early morning of March 14, when the accuser left the Duke lacrosse players’ house and claimed she was raped.”
She was not pregnant the night of the party.
Poor kid. A stripper and a liar for a mother, and now he’s/she’s got to play, “Who’s my daddy?”
There’s a hearing today. If the defense motions succeed…
Update II (12/14): Bill Anderson has a written a more in-depth comparison of the Duke and Scottsboro cases.
Update (12/13 @ 4:27 p.m.): It gets nastier and nastier. The results of the stripper-accuser’s DNA tests showed “genetic material from several males,” Duke lacrosse players not included. Mike Nifong knew and didn’t tell the defense. We’ve known for months that DNA matched a “boyfriend.” I guess she’s got more than one.

Walter Jones, a U.S. congressman from North Carolina, has asked the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate Durham County district attorney Mike Nifong for violating the civil rights of Collin Finnerty, Reade Seligmann, and David Evans, three men indicted on comically bogus gang-rape charges.

Last March, a stripper accused Duke lacrosse players (three? four? five?) of raping and sodomizing her for 30 minutes in a bathroom at a house party. Despite the absence of evidence that a rape occurred that night or occurred in that location or that DNA found in the victim belonged to her “boyfriend” and not to any indicted lacrosse player, Nifong plowed ahead with the case. Two players have alibis, yet Nifong sent the case to the grand jury anyway. Even left-leaning “60 Minutes” thought the case was laughable.
If DOJ opens an investigation, which I’m praying it will do, first on the list will be the photo ID process. In violation of standard procedures, the photo ID array did not include photos of people not associated with the so-called crime. The stripper-accuser looked at photos of white Duke lacrosse players and pointed to random men she wanted to frame for the alleged gang-rape.
My opinion of this case, especially of the stripper-accuser, is well-documented (30 posts and counting). In fact, I’m scheduled to be interviewed this afternoon for a story about the case, so hopefully, my views will be on national record. What’s happening in Durham is akin to what happened 75 years ago to the “Scottsboro Boys.” No matter how much hate e-mail I get, I’ll continue comparing the two cases.
