southsider2k5 Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Isn't this the same person who said something to the effect of making sure she got her attention/money/publicity out of this case, who is making these statements??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cknolls Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Now we learn that Nifong had loads of exculpatory evidence. According to a defense motion filed last week , the stripper-accuser couldn’t get her story straight. Sgt. J. C. Shelton, who responded to Kim “Second Stripper” Roberts’s 911 call, took the stripper-accuser to a mental health facility where she first made the rape claim. At Duke University Medical Center, she changed her mind and decided she hadn’t been raped after all. A few minutes later she told a nurse she’d been raped. The defense contends that contrary to information contained in a probable cause affidavit by Durham Police Investigator Benjamin Himan, the medical exam showed no signs of rape. The stripper-accuser told the examining nurse she hadn’t been choked and that no condoms, fingers or foreign objects were used during the alleged rape. The nurse noted that her arms, legs, head, neck, etc., were normal... To top it off, Roberts told Himan the rape allegations were a “crock” and that she’d been with the accuser the entire time except for a five minute period when she wouldn’t leave the party.

Controlled Chaos Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Second Exotic Dancer in Duke Lacrosse Case Says Alleged Victim Was 'Fine' Oct. 13, 2006 — Kim Roberts, the second exotic dancer at the now-infamous Duke University lacrosse team party, is changing her story about what happened on the night of March 13, 2006. This spring, three Duke lacrosse players — David Evans, Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty — were indicted on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual offense after a student from nearby North Carolina Central University told police she was raped in a bathroom by three men at a lacrosse team party, where she had been hired as an exotic dancer. From the beginning, there has been doubt as to whether the alleged victim gave Durham, N.C., prosecutors a straight story, and the latest interview with Roberts has raised more skepticism. Just months ago, Roberts was considered the backbone of the prosecution's case against the three players. "If the truth was on their side, why are they supporting it with lies?" Roberts said in April. But in a "60 Minutes" interview to be broadcast this Sunday on CBS, Roberts dropped a bombshell: She no longer supports the alleged victim's story. "Did she give you any reason to believe that she had been assaulted?" Ed Bradley asked Roberts. "No," Roberts said. "She obviously wasn't hurt, because, you know, she was fine." For the three players charged, Roberts' change of heart could hold the final key to their defense. Already, two of the defendants say they weren't in the house when the alleged rape occurred. For the first time, one of them is speaking out. "Thirty years," Evans said. "I could go to jail for something that never happened, based on a lie." DNA tests have reportedly failed to link the players to the alleged crime, but for now Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong says he will continue to press the case."The lack of scientific evidence is starting to pile up," said ABC News Consultant Joe Tacopina. "Now, when her friends are calling her a liar, there's really not much left for this prosecution." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbeFroman Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 If all this is true, (and by every indication we have, it is) the prosecutor should just dismiss the damn case. These poor kids are gonna have their lives ruined... and it just doesn't look like the high burden of proof can be met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
