A long-awaited report from the North Carolina attorney general's office, issued Friday, gives exact details of the evidence that led the office to exonerate the three former Duke University lacrosse players who had been accused of sexual assault in the wake of an off-campus party last spring.
The 21-page report details the alibi of Garden City's Collin Finnerty along with the other two accused players, Reade Seligmann of Essex Fells, N.J., and David Evans of Bethesda, Md. on the night of the party.
Attorney General Roy Cooper said the voluminous evidence his special prosecutors gathered in a three-month period established beyond doubt that no crime took place that night.
Finnerty had long ago left the party and was in a different off-campus house in Durham, N.C., in the company of several other Duke students, at the time of the alleged attack, the report says.
Meanwhile the dancer herself was observed, at the house, "talking incoherently, apparently to no one in particular," the report said.
"In a video recorded at 12:31:26 a.m., she is talking to one of the party attendees saying 'I'm a cop' and making other comments which were difficult to understand," the report said.

"You're under arrest, sugar."

Regardless.
Al was wrong and he needs to ‘fess-up.
Race-baiting Scum-bag that he is.
Oh I know, but I won’t be holding my breath. :-)
I find odd that no charges were filed against Crystal - that makes a lawsuit far more difficult and gives fodder for the likes of the talking head Georgia somebody to keep implying that the guys did do something bad.
...along with Mangum, at least one of Nifong's investigators and probably others.
Get ready for the mother of all civil suits.
Neither shall I.
But it had to be said, in no uncertain terms.

A guy who works at a North Durham strip club phoned in to a local talk radio show about 11 months ago and said he remembered when this same Crystal Mangum came in to audition at his club. He says she danced around wildly and out of control. They asked her to stop and she kept on dancing. They shut off the music and she kept on dancing. They had to physically remove her from the stage. When they went back-stage several minutes later they found her lying on the floor, still dancing. A total burn-out.
Having received a complaint, if the AG’s office fails to prosecute Nifong etal, then they are liable to prosecution as well. Best thing they can do is hang them all out to dry and put paid to the whole fiasco. At this point, federal involvement is almost a certainty.
Al Sharpton can personally apologize to the boys on his radio show and then fire himself...
That's no way to talk about a highly decorated police officer, dammit!
;)
What a pass-the-popcorn moment it will be if/when this all comes to trial and the cel footage of Nifong’s “star witness” is shown to the jury.
“Al Sharpton can personally apologize to the boys on his radio show and then fire himself...”
That would be great!
Sad that it will never happen......
Ah, yes...Angie Dickinson...love those..er...that .38 she’s holding!
One interesting thing I took out of the report, even though it’s not really germane to Crazy Crystal and the hoax...
So apparently “Nikki” (Kim Roberts) and a white bystander exchanged racial slurs as she was leaving with Crazy Crystal. Did you notice that even though she slurred first, she then called 911 and reported people yelling racial slurs “at cars that were driving down Buchanan”? There was no evidence that anybody said anything more to her, or Mangum, than that one exchange. Sounds like filing a false report trying to get the lacrosse players in trouble.

Wish the media would go after him with the same fury they went after the lacrosse players.
