"The cross-town Durham school to which she purportedly goes is North Carolina Central University (NCCU). Since we've had the discussion about the "culture of rape" at Duke, can we now have the discussion about the "culture of single-mother fatherless-children sex-worker false-acuser substance-abuser felons" at NCCU?"
That is a GREAT post and effectively highlights the hypocrisy of the coverage. Well done!!! I am in awe...
That was probably in the days before dna evidence.
If he's talking about nowadays--he probably just made it up. 75-80%--Call me skeptical.
Nifong is a DEMOCRAT who needs African American voters to survive in Durham. Duke is known as a Right Wing school with many prominent GOP alumni. If Nifong presses charges he will destroy his political career and be a White Al Sharpton.
About half the rape cases are are not reported contemporaneously AND SO THERE IS NO dna TESTING. How many cases are there where the victim is DNA tested at teh time of teh rape and then there is no DNA match?
That's the real question.
Nifong said Tuesday that in 75 to 80 percent of all sexual assault cases, there is no DNA evidence.
I'd like to know where he got that number.
If you grabbed your babysitters butt, you'd be guilty of sexual assault. How much DNA do you think you'd leave behind?
Another idiot woman on Nancy Grace tried to make the same point last night. She almost hyperventilated screaming "what are the odds that the semen from two males that she identified would be on a towel in the same room the poor victim was trapped in".
I'm surprised Nifong didn't hand out pom-poms and noisemakers prior to this forum pep rally.

Nifong, who has said he doesn't necessarily need DNA evidence to prosecute, was calmly defiant at Tuesday's forum, attended by about 700 people on the campus of North Carolina Central University, the historically black university a few miles from Duke where the alleged victim is a student.
Looks like you are on to something. The man is willing to smear innocent white students in order to get in good with the black vote. He is doing open forums on the 'victim's' campus. I'm surprised Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton weren't standing next to him.
If the softball team had hired the same stripper we would not heard a peep.
really. not allowed a grab. shucks!! might have to turn myself in. oh no DNA. Shweee
Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the arranging of them myself;
in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force:
"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics."
- - From the Autobiography of Mark Twain
"There's an old saying that the absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence," said Peter Neufeld, co-founder and co-director of the Innocence Project, a nonprofit legal clinic.
Talk about irony! Someone from the "Innocence Project" advocating for the continued prosecution of defendants without any evidence of a crime.
Yep, they shown their true colors.
Nifong said Tuesday that in 75 to 80 percent of all sexual assault cases, there is no DNA evidence.
Not all sexual assaults are rapes, and not all rapes are violent gang rapes. Nifong is lumping this in with groping offenses, etc. and being intentionally deceptive.
WHERE'S KIM?
-----Nifong said Tuesday that in 75 to 80 percent of all sexual assault cases, there is no DNA evidence.-----
Squeezing buttocks without permission is considered SEXUAL ASSAULT. "Accidentally" touching breasts without permission is also SEXUAL ASSAULT. DA Nifong is being egregiously disingenuous.
In sexual assault cases involving penis-vagina penetration, DNA is virtually ALWAYS present.
In spite of those who WANT a rape here...it is becoming increasingly obvious that no sex took place.
No, the coach resigned because it became clear that he did not have the appropriate adult control over his rowdy underage players, and the player was suspended because of the email where he appeared to want to skin the stripper and get off to it.
They have handled it poorly, but I don't know how this thing could have played out any differently given all of the circumstances.
Randy college students, gross emails, oh my. Were these student-atheletes in a revenue producing sport, or members of Dem constituency (homosexual, women, minorities), then nary a peep would have been heard of all this. What business does Duke have peering into a student's private correspondence? Does the faculty get its emails scoured publicly?
No such thing. If you send email using a private company's system (like the duke.edu email accounts) then the owner of the servers have every right to see what you are doing with the email account they provided you.
