Durham in the News
The lax case gets more sticky by the day.
DNA does not link the Lax students to the Lady dancer in question.
The DA intends to press forward with the case.
Al S. and T.B. stand ready to help with the case.

I'm perplexed...if the DNA does not link the alledged suspects to the claim of rape by the woman dancer, why would the DA choose to proceed?

The DA crawled way out on the limb with some of his comments to the press about this case now he can't crawl back without losing face. I guess he would rather lose in court than to eat some of the comments he has made in public.

Interesting. I just saw it reported on Fox News that 26 of the 27 alleged suspects have given DNA samples, maybe he's waiting for the last one.

Accodring to the stripper there were three Duke players that raped her. If 26 out of 27 have been exonerated due to DNA testing doesn't that make her a liar? I haven't heard the DA accuse anyone but members of the Lacrosse team.
I think the DA should have kept his big yap shut until he knew he had the goods on the team before preening for the cameras.

1. He is up for reelection this year and hoped to win votes in the black community by going after these student athletes.
2. There is a possibility that the LAX players did rape her, but left no DNA evidence.
3. The local papers have been crucifying these guys for weeks, if he dropped it, he would be seen as incompetent humself.
4. There are a lot more holes to this case than has been shown so far, there are a number of questions that remain.
5. IIRC, Jesse and Al supported Tawana Brawley against her racist white attackers as well. Even after they found there weren't any.
BTW, there were not 27 athletes, there were 47, but they only took DNA from 46 because the other player was black and the stripper (let's call her what she is) claimed that the attackers were all white, so he was excluded. The DA had to act because the media convicted the athletes before the trial, and the largely black populace of Durham were calling for blood.

The 27 was a black Lacrosse player/student. As TR stated:

Even worse they knew very early on that she had fabricated her entire story and still slandered the defendants one of which IIRC was an assistant DA who has since sued Sharpton for slander and won.

That rule is suspended for media events, criminal sex allegations and interracial crime.

The local rag will have some updates in the morning. I'm sure one of us will post the links for the out-of-towners.

Let one of your soldiers be ACCUSED of a sex crime, child abuse, domestic violence, or racism, and see whether guilt has to be proven or not before people make decisions.
Today's Raleigh News & Observer headline, top of the front page:
"Team has swaggered for years".
Guess what side they are on?

Just heard on the "News" that NONE of the DNA of the Team Members MATCHED what was on or about the "victim"!?!?!?!
Maybe they just didn't offer to tip her enough?!?!?!
