DURHAM, N.C. -- Police are investigating threats against the Duke University men's lacrosse team in the wake of rape allegations against team members.
Numerous telephone calls and e-mails to the university athletic office in recent days have threatened violence against the team, and authorities are looking into who made the calls and sent the messages to determine whether any criminal charges are warranted.
PING.
Perfectly normal behavior, isn't it? /s
The girl's own father didn't know his daughter was the alleged victim? The day after the alleged attack she acted fine? Police don't know who made the 1st call? Cell phone numbers aren't logged when someone calls 911 from them? Officers are looking into the emails and calls to the University (re: threats to the team members) to see if charges are warranted? Uh hello, isn't communicating threats still a crime in NC? Is it me or does this whole thing smell to high heaven?
bttt
i'm wondering about the DA's decision to go ahead with a rape case. even if he is desperate to win his election, wouldn't a DA be a little sceptical about a rape allegation made by a prostitute who was on drugs?
i would think he would only want to go ahead with the case (in terms of getting DNA evidence, etc) if he already had some good evidence besides the alleged victim's story.
why would a DA risk his campaign on this case unless there was already some convincing physical evidence that a rape occurred?
i don't mean that the DA is right about the lacross team committing the rape; i just mean that there must be some physical evidence that a rape occurred at some point in the evening.
