You're most likely 100% correct. He has no hope in the election if he doesn't "get something" out of this case.

same sort of thing happened in south bend a few years ago, couple players accused of rape, happened to be an election year for the DA, he basically had no choice but to pursue. In these cases much more often than not a conviction is NOT made. In the duke and ND case, there were...other factors were in play.

On an unrleated note, they need to relocate the trial to ensure fairness.

Now that the race card has been pulled...

This isn't meant to point fingers at you two guys so I'm not calling either of you out. I'm just pointing out reality here...

If this was a white stripper at a party with mostly black football players and said stripper claimed she was raped by three young black men from low income backgrounds, there would be 10 times the media coverage on this, the story would be biased toward the white stripper, and there would be far less people coming to the defense of the black kids, even with no DNA evidence. The three black men wouldn't have a prayer.

This isn't just a black white thing, it's a helpless white female thing. How long are we going to have to see entire news hours dedicated to Natalie Halloway? The runaway bride, Lacy Peterson. Lori Hacking...etc, etc. etc.

He trumped up the charges very HIGH on these kids hoping they would go for a deal, but the kids said NO DEAL. NOW HE is screwed and the case will go to trial while he has no evidence and a very shaky dirtbag alleged victim. With defendants that can prove they weren't at the scene of the crimje.

BUT stick to the PAC 10. As you`re one of the best. May be some worth in your overall view, not in this one tho. This DA made it easier in the future to discount any claims made by black females re. rape. He is so obviously intent on "getting the preppies" as to be laughable. IF she did get raped these guys are probably not the right ones. In his haste he`s completely fu*ked up this prosecution. BOL

Very good analysis. The DA is screwed-period and he's going out on his ass come election day.

this D.A. sounds A LOT like the one that went after Kobe - announcing he had a GREAT case then little by little the whole thing fell apart and he had nothing

UNLESS this D.A. has stuff we don't know about (and he might - we will wait and see) he is in DEEP "Doo Doo" and come election time - HE IS DONE

the sad thing is...if these kids didnt rape her...there lives are being messed up. they got kicked out of school until the matter is resolved! if they are innocent, that is messed up.

if they are innocent, i feel worse for them than i do steve bartman.

Blue...you would know better than I, I don't see much TV during the day, but the last two nights I've seen some some coverage of this case. I have seen extensive coverage of Natalie Halloway and she's been missing for a year. In fact, if I go to MSN.com there is no mention of this case, but there is news about a video of Natalie Halloway. If I look over at Foxnews.com, the number 1 story in the latest news is...Natalie Halloway. there is a story defending the two Duke kids too...kind and jovial guys.

Silver, I'm not debating this particular case...from what I hear the DA has fucked up and these guys may or may not be innocent.

I'm just pointing out that if the situation was reversed, there would not be nearly the coverage in defense of three poor black kids as there is for three (two) rich white kids. There would in fact be a lot more coverage about the alleged victim.

There lives are already messed up. Anytime someone points that finger you are branded for life, guilty or not guilty.

thats what i'm saying. i had to fire a young woman who worked for me last year. she went crazy when i fired her...saying i never gave her a chance, i have no respect for women...all this crazy nonsense. after she cleared out her desk and left i thought "man, what if she decided to say i sexually harrassed her or something worse?". i mean, what's to stop her? and, even if her accusation had no merit (which it wouldnt have) all the guys i work with would look at me differently.

its just crazy...all with a few words.

i'm not saying these guys at duke are innocent...i have no idea what happened at the party. however, the lack of dna evidence is huge.

I could see the da making up stuff to win the case.

This should get interesting. If the boys are let off, can they sue???

The school should sue the players to get their scholarship money back, scumbags drinking and partying during the season.

There has to be a pre-trial hearing first. If the DA doesn't present enough evidence then the judge will not grant a trial. Simple as that. There must be evidence that we have not heard yet, as from everything we have heard no judge would order this to trial.

You must have been busy for 2 years in 94-95 there was a black guy who killed a white woman, all kinds of DNA evidence...he walked!
These Duke kids may be guilty of some crime but there is no DNA evidence, no witnesses, and only testimony from some drunk/drugged stripper. Add in the fact that at least one of the arrested suspects has a documented alibi, and it's hard to imagine a case more biased against an innocent until proven guilty defendant!

Oh, and mark my words...when it finally comes to trial(if it does, it should be dropped), it will be shown that the alleged victim has not had an alcohol and drug test taken at the hospital at the time of the rape exam. That is SOP for a rape case whenever there is an issue of the alleged victim's credibility.

You are out of you rmind sir. If this was a white girl claiming to be rapsed by 3 Duke football players, it would be 1/4 of the story that it is.
