Entire Duke Lacrosse Team Suspended from Play

[Tom Earp]

Sounds like a Jerry S Moment, YaYaDa!

Fit is going to hit the shan soon!

Now, I think it is Car. No Cent. Un who are raising Hell as the DA was there promoting His Point of view for the Public and pushing His Agenda!

What a Dick Wad!

Prosecute in The Media and Not The Court!

[Tom Earp]

The Local DA is going to the Grand Jury on this situatin!

Great, The defense cannot call Defense witnesses!

What A Dick! Election Time in The South!

Her Daddy says She is a good girl and doesnt do things like this!

What a suck Political thing this seems to becoming!

2 duke players indicted by grand jury.

A grand jury issued sealed indictments Monday against two members of the Duke University lacrosse team in connection with allegations that a stripper was raped last month at a team party, NBC News’ Dan Abrams reported, citing two unnamed defense sources.

The charges against the two players are unclear, Abrams reported.

The grand jury adjourned for two weeks without issuing any public indictments.

I question this whole situation, but especially the IDs that were made...I mean you give me a month and I bet I will be able to pick out members of the Duke Lacrosse team

Driving back to school from Easter today, I listened to almost three hours on ESPN radio of stuff covering this case. They had three federal prosecutors on the show and all of them agreed that the indictments were perpetuated by Nifong's reelection campaign and that it would be next to impossible to convict anyone of anything. Granted, they said it was not unusual for a month to pass before starting a rape trial. The DNA results were damaging and they also said that the fact that this would be the word of 46 people against 1 stripper could be a determinant. They also said that the Defense would most likely call for a polygraph for the stripper, but that the results would probobly not get released to the public due to ethical issues.

2 Duke players have been arrested

The prosecutor says he wants to charge one more player.

By now, both of the players indicted have posted $400,000 bond according to accounts.

One defense attorney says his client wasn't even at the party at the time of the alleged crime.

This could be really instructional to watch...

I think the issue is that North Carolina is more incendiary than say, Los Angeles... A crazy bunch of mo'fo's from DC Metro like taking a hop, skip and a romp through Duke, just to take that place down...

And the word on the street is that Durham has no love for Duke and is more than happy to kick folks around...

Thus, the saying goes for rich spoiled kids at Duke...

And remember Duke is not far from Atlanta or DC and there are powerhouses in either of those locations...

And the poverty is high outside of Duke... Folks are more than happy to look the other way when the pimps roll up... It will be gangland style...

The reason why it won't be like that in LA ever again--'cuz 3 strikes works... How did you think the souf got so "dirty"?

And the rappers are hard at work with their music videos... I just saw a political commentary video of Katrina by somebody... I don't even know the little boys name... All I know he has one of those jacked up grillz...

Isnt it though!

This dillwad DA is up for Re-Election and seems to be basing everything on this case.

What is really Sad, is a Grand Jury Hears only From The Prosecuting Attorney of I am Going To Screw You! No Defense response by anyone as dictated via law.

So, it boils down to No Defense for an Indictment for those young men.

If, it is proved wrong by any actual Proof, I hope they stick it in this ass wholes rear so far that He is buried! This case is and has been tried in the Media and Public Oppinion!

It sounded like the defense attorneys for the guys were extremely confident.

The law doesn't dictate that a grand jury hear from the defense, Tom. Never has. The purpose of the grand jury is to determine if the prosecution has enough evidence to bring charges. If there is enough evidence to bring charges, which is not the same as enough evidence to convict, then an indictment is issued stating the charges (giving the defendant notice of what the actual charges are so that the defense can prepare to respond to those specific charges) and the case goes to trial. Trial is where the defense makes its case.

Especially in saying that one or both of them weren't even at the party at the time of the alleged assault/rape.

This could also help explain the 'close-to-the-vest' nature of the team, in doing what some were calling 'protecting their own' - information of this type (which they're saying includes a charge receipt), if it were a surprise to the DA, would be hugely damaging to the cases against the OTHER players.

Now, compare this to that retard Nancy Grace, who flipped out last night about the one player waiving his right to an arraignment (since, after all, if he's innocent he should be "shouting "NOT GUILTY" to the court every chance (he) could get" . . . obv) - it appears there has been at least some strategy developed. Very interesting.

You're funny...

So, from what I've read and seen on TV and based on what folks have written on this thread and others, folks may think that the DA is going after this case because he is trying to be re-elected and he probably is...

But my question in the back of my mind (and you know how that works), is why in the hayle the DA would risk his re-election campaign of the sucessful prosecution of alleged Duke Lacrosse players who raped an African American stripper with poor DNA evidence?

And the best answer I can come up with: that area near Duke is about to blow up and damn near dangerous. Especially since I heard some folks were planning "drive by shootings". And the only folks I know who do that on a daily basis are the fools up in L.A.

So, hey, the city let that area get to that point and it will be another hot summer when the chit hits the fan...

And don't tell me you cannot see this powder keg from a mile away...

Maybe I'm just too paranoid... But the fires been lit... It'll be another Katrina Biatch-slappin'...

And I ain't 'bout to sing "we shall overcome" for nobody...

I seriously was not following you and this post is only slightly more coherent.

Don't believe everything you hear. There will be no rioting, massive gang warfare, or anything that the media would love to see.
