If all the other details were not enough to produce reasonable doubt, then the words of the accuser herself should be more than enough. I’ve already decided she’s lying given all the findings by the defense, so nothing shocks me at this point.

The accuser explicitly told the first police officer on the scene that she was not raped. Also there was more than one photo line-up. In a previous photo line-up she did not pick David Evans, the person she picked in a later line-up, but claimed he had a mustache, when he never did.

Sgt. J.C. Shelton was the first cop on the scene at the house and the Kroger. Here are some interesting details from his notes.

…
— The owner of the car told Shelton that she had been driving down Buchanan Boulevard and saw the other woman — now in her passenger seat — walking along the street and that a group of white men at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. were yelling racial slurs at her, so she offered her a ride to safety. (In fact, though, the car owner was Roberts, the second dancer.)

– The woman in the passenger seat was “wearing a see-through red outfit, with no undergarments and one white high-heel shoe.” She appeared unconscious, so Shelton got an ammonia capsule from his car. In response to the capsule, the woman began “mouth breathing, which is a sign that she was not really unconscious,” Shelton wrote.

– Shelton said he tried to pull the woman from the car, but that she grabbed the emergency brake handle to keep from being pulled out. He finally got her out and she collapsed on the ground.

– Because the woman wouldn’t tell officers her name or where she lived, they decided to take her to the Durham Access Center, a mental health and substance abuse facility. There, the woman said she had been raped at 610 N. Buchanan. So Shelton directed that she be transferred to Duke University Hospital’s emergency room.

– At Duke, the accuser told Shelton she was a stripper and had been hired to dance at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. After their show, she said, she and the other dancer got in a car to leave, but that some of the men wanted them to go back inside. “She said at the point some of the guys from the party pulled her from the vehicle and groped her. She told me that no one forced her to have sex,” Shelton wrote.

– Shelton went outside to call his watch commander to tell him the woman had recanted her rape allegation. But then someone told him the woman told a doctor that she had been raped. Shelton called the watch commander back to tell him “she had changed her story back to being raped.”

– Shelton went back inside and asked the woman “if she had or had not been raped. She told me she did not want to talk to me anymore and then started crying and saying something about them dragging her into the bathroom.”
…

Seems someone raped would not want to avoid telling their story to a police officer. And we know she’s done the passed out thing in the past.

Other details DA Mike Nifong may not have turned over to the defense.

…
The defense motion filed Friday says that, “incredibly,” the information provided by Nifong contains no record about the woman’s time at Durham Access Center. Nor does it contain reports by two other police officers who were involved in the situation that night, the motion complains.

In addition, Nifong provided documentation pertaining to only five of 17 sections of a Sexual Assault Exam Report, the motion adds, indicating that the exam was performed by an in-training forensic nurse.

Hmmm….
