Then you get the rape shield law preventing innocent men from defending themselves from deranged people.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE

Three men will rape a stripper with a broom in the bathroom of a small home - with another stripper and 45 guys in the immediate area - leaving no DNA, and getting no injuries while they strangle and beat the stripper.

That's a story only Wendy Murphy and drunken strippers would believe.

Thanks. I've been away for a week and thought I had missed something.

Then again....the accuser seems to have been given a "right" to change her story.....a few times....

Since Duke is as politically correct as any institution it will now proceed into an orgy of self-flaggelation and abnegation with the appointment of a woman to led it and more women higher ups hired.

The feminists will make out like bandits and the institution will suffer. But sinee it is already ballless it deserves what it will get.

why????

As I've grown older its become apparent that we cannot escape who we are. This has been good in my family as the sheep come back from straying and assume their rightful places as good citizens and lovers of God.

To want to be other than what one is is to cheat oneself of joy.

I wonder if the "proper" jury panel will be called up? If so these kids are toast.

That is my fear as well.

They're all three nuts! Speaking of nuts, they've never met a pair they didn't wish they had.

HA! I don't think they'd appreciate them if they had 'em!

toldyou,

You know Nancy Grace wishes she had a pair of Duke Lacrosse gonads dangling from her rearview mirror. The woman is certifiably crazy! What do they feed her?

"You know Nancy Grace wishes she had a pair of Duke Lacrosse gonads dangling from her rearview mirror."

And, from another thread.... "I am hoping the DA will eventually grow a pair and dismiss the case."

You're too funny!

I don't know about Grace-less. I once liked her. Now? Ugh!
I am a woman, and I do not agree with those three at all! They are mean and angry! What did you do to upset them?

"Counselors also withheld water from thristy kids in "interviews" (interrogations), and later permitted them to slake their thirst after they had given them what they were after."

okay, let's talk about police and DA misconduct in a broader sense.....

David Westerfield, notorious child killer, was driven around for reports up to 19 hours without food or water or sleep with the cops, sans lawyer.....

but that was forgiven by the public....

the public has got to see that if one police/DA office gets away with misconduct, others will follow suit.....

sometimes it will nab a bad person, like a Westerfield, but sometimes it will nab innocent people like in the McMartin case or the case of the "Little Rascal" daycare center.....

I'm not saying that I think nothing happened at Mc Martin, or at "little Rascals" but I am saying that the prosecution was so overboard that a guilty verdict was virtually assured....

Too many people (even here on FR) were too quick to believe this story.

I would say there were maybe five who weren't suspicious from the get-go.

McMartin was an acquittal.

Also, David Westerfield was caught because Danielle VanDam's blood was on his jacket, and other fiber evidence.
If he was driven around without water for 19 hours it didn't bother him, because he never confessed, and to this day claims he is innocent. BTW..DW was a rich inventor, he knew his rights.

There is a difference between an adult being squeezed for information by police and a child being squeezed .
No matter who it is, I want police/prosecutors to stay within the bounds of the law and ethics.

Westerfield's attorney was in the process of negotiating a guilty plea in exchange for a life sentence if he told the cops the location of the body. Prosecutor backed out when they found the body Danielle's body prior to making the deal.

A few years ago they were all more reasonable. Well, Nancy and Kimberly were. Wendy Murphy has always been way out there. I feel they have tapped into a market, just like the Limbaughs and O'Reillys, except it is the "angry female," instead of the angry male.

Nancy Grace was not so out there a few years ago. I feel she learned that extreme sells in tv today, so she has gone there. Wendy Murphy has always been out there, and except for a slight wobble, her orbit remains unchanged. Kimberly seems to be following Nancy's path, as I've seen her be reasonable on Court TV.
