In that same interview, the accuser also said she was no longer certain she had been penetrated vaginally by a penis, a necessary element of rape charges in North Carolina.

That led Nifong to dismiss rape charges against Seligmann and fellow defendants Dave Evans and Collin Finnerty. The players, who have steadfastly declared their innocence, remain charged with sexual offense and kidnapping.

According to a friend who was once raped, some of the details from the experience were fuzzy, but she was still able to recall most of what happened. The Duke girl, whose story was believable up until several months back, comes across as she's been crying "wolf" since day one. Sadly none of us know for sure exactly what happened that evening.

Kid's families paid her off.

I'm assuming you're not serious...


This case is getting more and more ridiculous. The prosecutor has handled the whole case very poorly and has rightly been the subject of ethics complaints.

 

[Kihaji]

Rape has never been a charge that is tried in courts, and women like this know that.

 

[LordOpie]

I'm assuming you're not serious...

Why not?

I have no info, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if that happened.

i don't think burden of proof works that way.

Really? Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[$tinkle]

just sayin', you're wandering into conspiracy land when there's a horn of plenty of useful yet inconvenient info which would help you make a rational decision.

don't know if you're into that

 

[LordOpie]

useful info?

While I haven't followed it closely, seems to me that the whole thing's been a cluster fvck since day one.

true; first sign being gloria alred's mug making the talking head tour.

Kid's families paid her off.

Since none of the DNA found in her, on her, or in her underwear matched any of the lacrosse players, why would they?

You've got to be kidding. Why, exactly, do you distrust these kids so much? What have they done that tells you they are so immoral? What indication do you have that they might have paid someone off?

You're one of them, aren't you!?!?! AREN'T YOU?!?!?!

Looks to me like they were just playing a little game called,
"Just the tip."

*yawn*

is this really that interesting of story?

It is when you bring in the idea of bribery...

 

[Echo]

*yawn*

is this really that interesting of story?

The story itself wouldn't even rate as a news story outside NC, except for the fact that the entire Duke lacrosse program was scrapped, players were expelled, coaches lost their jobs, etc... all because some stupid crackwhore made up a rape story after some white boys wouldn't tip her.

 

[LordOpie]

How about livestock? Does that make it more interesting? It is Carolina after all.

Aww, gee... ya think.???

 

[LordOpie]

the Duke kids, the raped girl and the prosecuter are all working together on a scheme to sue the city out of millions. Yeah, the guy will lose his job, but when you're rich, you don't need to work.

The DA does not want to go down with the ship.

oops that whole election thing might be a moot point...

The state bar has added ethics charges to a complaint filed against the prosecutor who brought sexual assault charges against three Duke lacrosse players, accusing him of withholding DNA evidence and making misleading statements to the court.

The new charges by the North Carolina State Bar against Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong were announced Wednesday and could lead to his removal from the state bar, according to a copy of the updated complaint.

These charges are a lot worse than the whole media thing that filed earlier against him.

These are the kinda charges that get DAs thrown out of office.
