Defense in Duke Lacrosse Rape Case Says Cops Omitted Details

by @ 3:21 pm. Filed under Nuts on Parade

Warning, although I leave out some of the dirty details, this post is not for children.

Usual Suspects Durham, North Carolina District Attorney Mike Nifong should stop pursuing this case now. At this point the information coming out is not only damaging himself, but police in that area as well. For the good of that community he should stop this case, fall on the sword by taking responsibility with a resignation and recommend that the stripper accuser be charged for making this mess up. Or even if he wants the voters to decide in November, he should at least end this case now and charge the accuser.

Here’s what the lawyers of accused Duke lacrosse team player Reade Seligmann have to say about police holding back on details, when getting permission from a judge to do a photo line-up.

Defense Lawyers cite omitted items (emphasis added)

– Durham Police Investigator Benjamin Himan failed to note that exotic dancer Kim Roberts Pittman submitted a handwritten statement in which she said the rape accusations by her dance partner were “a crock.”

— Himan failed to note that the examining sexual-assault nurse was not certified but “in training.”

– While Himan contended the alleged victim had been hit, kicked and strangled, he neglected to say an examining physician found no neck, back, chest or abdominal tenderness.

He also failed to say an examining nurse found the woman’s head, neck, nose, throat, mouth, chest, breasts, abdomen and upper and lower extremities were normal — even though she complained to the nurse of “tenderness” over her body.

– While Himan quoted medical records to the effect that the accuser had “signs, symptoms and injuries consistent with being raped and sexually assaulted vaginally and anally,” the examining nurse noted only “diffuse edema” — or swelling — of the woman’s vaginal walls.

According to Osborn and Conner, the nurse’s report contained no opinion or conclusion that a rape had occurred.

Did the accuser ever say she clawed anyone?


– The probable cause affidavit claimed the dancer clawed at one of her attacker’s arms in an attempt to breathe while being strangled, breaking one of her fingernails in the process. But Himan failed to mention in his probable cause affidavit that that allegation was not in the summary of the dancer’s statement prepared by Himan.

Police may have never mentioned her use of booze and drugs. The drug she claims to have taken is not supposed to be used with alcohol and she claims to have consumed 44 ounces of beer.


(emphasis added below)


— Again referring to medical records, the attorneys said Himan omitted conflicting stories the accuser made about her use of alcohol and drugs.

For example, the woman told a sexual-assault nurse-in-training that she had consumed one drink of alcohol and was taking the medication Flexeril, used to treat muscle spasms. According to McNeil Consumer & Specialty Pharmaceuticals, Flexeril, especially when used with alcohol, “may impair mental and/or physical abilities,” and that it may “enhance the effects of alcohol.”

But the dancer also told a UNC Hospitals physician the next day that she “was drunk and had had a lot of alcohol that night.” She later told Himan she had consumed a 24-ounce bottle of beer, but then amended her story to say she drank two 22-ounce beers, lawyers Osborn and Conner wrote.

No official toxicology information about the woman has been made public.

So much for that old “date rape drug” theory!

Be sure to read that entire article. There’s even more in there that blows this case out of the water.


The Law Office of J. Kirk Osborn is posting their motions related to this case on their web site.
They have not posted the latest motion on their site yet, but it will probably be there soon. Those motions include the full name of the stripper accuser.

I have seen the web site of the accuser’s employer, which I am unable to link to because of the adult nature of the site. From my viewing, I must say it looks like all any man would expect from a sleazy escort service. Of course they can’t say they have prostitutes, they claim.


Anything else that may occur is a matter of personal choice between two or more consenting adults of legal age, and is not contracted for, nor requested to be contracted for or compensated for in any manner.

But a model bio says things like:

Persia

I am available for Incall , Outcall
I am available as Girlfriend , Masseuse , Role play

I’m a passionate lover that’s openminded, and can get into Greek with a $elect few.

I did not add that “$”, it’s really in her bio.

Now if you’re not the village idiot, you know what that means!!!

The accuser told her driver she had been with at least 4 men. Some say 3 men, some say at least 4 men. Who knows, maybe it was 5 men, 6 men, 20 men?… All we know is that none of the men have been found to play lacrosse at Duke University. And it looks like they are the only ones that avoided going that far with her.

Officer’s ‘omissions’ targeted in lacrosse motion


In addition, the dancer told her driver she was “involved in some sexual manner with at least four different men” between March 10 and 12, and she admitted to a physician the next day that “she was drunk and had had a lot of alcohol that night,” according to the documents.

The attorney has been trying to get a copy of the toxicology report, if one exists.


1. In an interview with Newsweek reporters, District Attorney Mike Nifong, while
running for election “hinted to NEWSWEEK that blood and urine tests of [the accuser] would
reveal the presence of a date-rape drug.” Newsweek; May 1,2006 p.42.

2. No such toxicology report, if it exists, was provided to the defense in the 1278
pages of discovery (Discovery) the District Attorney turned over to counsel for the Defendant on May 18, 2006. The District Attorney represented to the Court that the Discovery he provided to the Defendant was everything he had in his files.

Here’s a word of advice for Christians that might consider sleeping with one of these kinds of women. All fornication is sin and sleeping with a woman like this is as Paul put it:

1 Corinthians 6:15-17 (New King James Version)

15) Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!

16) Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.”

17) But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

And as you have witnessed, even trying to have a little “striptease” (also sin) can prove to have some ugly consequences. Try to follow the Lord as best you can and avoid this kind of activity.

    Duke Lacrosse Rape Case Had At Least 6 Photo Line-ups

    In the ever growing list of reasonable doubt, it appears the stripper accuser needed at least 6 photo line-ups to name the people she claims raped her.

  2. Betty Friedan Says:

    When the stripper “eeny meeny miney moed” the boys out of a line up that guaranteed only Duke Lacrosse boys were chosen, to the DNA (or lack of), the boys’ alibis, the 2nd stripper changing her story to profit from this scandal, the cab driver, I didn’t think this case could get any weaker, but then evidence reveals that stripper lied to police about not having sex for a week, then later confessed to having sex with her boyfriend and two other men who drove her to the party, and using a “vibrator” in a performance prior to the Duke party.

    And again when you think that this case couldn’t get anymore ridiculous, from Nifong’s own reports we find out that the police omitted important information including that the stripper claimed that the 2nd stripper, Kim Roberts Pittman, helped the boys rape her.

    The stripper originally claimed that the second stripper helped with the rape!

    Just when you think this case hit rock bottom, there’s about 50 feet of crap, then you find a sub-basement where in the corner Mike Nifong is clutching this case like “Gulum”, from the movie Lord of the Rings, clutches the “ring of power”.

    If Mike Nifong doesn’t get disbarred after this, then there really is a corrupt system in Durham that protects rich white guys. In Nifong’s case - stupid rich white guys with transparent political agendas, but maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Nifong can turn a pig’s ear into a silk purse.

    Ever since every sexist and racist group descended onto Duke to publicly condemn these boys, I went into over drive trying to make people consider that these boys wouldn’t have submitted to DNA testing if they were guilty, but since the 1st DNA evidence came back, I became more persistent and met equally persistent feminist (i.e. feministing, Rachael’s Tavern, Alas a blog, Tennessee Guerrilla Women, Justice4Sisters, Hazel8500 etc…) who adamantly insist these boys are guilty for no other reason than because a “woman” (i.e. the stripper) claims it so.

    I’ve noticed since then that most of feminist blogs have fallen silent as new evidence suggests that the stripper’s claim to be false.

    However, just when you think this case hit rock bottom, there’s about 50 feet of crap, then you find a sub-basement where in the corner Mike Nifong is hunched over clutching this dead case like “Gulum” (movie: Lord of the Rings) clutches the “ring of power”.

    A great place to view that unbiased facts is:

    I hear ya Betty. Plenty of “them” have been coming by here too and posting their anger about my posts on their blogs/message boards. They are high on emotion and short on facts. The usual Liberal method of living.

    And like you said, since we’ve hit the “sub-basement” many of them have gone quiet, but not all of them.

  6. Betty Friedan Says:

    It’s great that you’re not easily intimidated by misandry-feminist who rant and rage over opnions that don’t yeield to theirs.

    If a woman claims:

    To have been raped on 3/13/2006.
    Then says on 3/14/2006, that she has pain at a level of 10 out of 10. Although she claims she was not hit during the alleged rape. Nurses and doctors don’t observe any “obvious dis…
