No, I would say that because they were rich and priviledged, they were guilty.

Could it have been a shakedown by the stripper and/or her manager to extort more money out of them then they received? :hmmm:

Heh. The black community has come a long way since O.J.

They're guilty! There is no evidence, but they're guilty!

"Authorities ordered 46 of the 47 players on Duke's lacrosse team to submit DNA samples to investigators. Because the woman said her attackers were white, the team's sole black player was not tested"

Can you be forced to provide a DNA sample?

"If the golves don't fit, you must acquit."... :hmmm:

Somehow, you know Coach K is behind all of this....he used the same mind-control powers he uses on officials on the CSI team....

Heck, I bet even Dickie V has put in a call to Coach K volunteering some of his DNA to throw into the crime scene (so someone other than a Dukie could take the fall).

I don't know. But if I was innocent, I'd give DNA so they could take me off the suspect list.

Welp, I guess I will go ahead and say that this stripper should be killed and skinned, instead of the LaCrosse team. I still detest priveledged atheltes and others who do shit like what she LIED about, and get away with it - but if they did nothing and she made the whole thing up. Definitely prosecuted, and please do something more than the runway bride got!!!

I want some of the drugs your on. OK, I can't believe I actually have to say this. It's not about whether an lawyer will lie or not it's about what's in it for him. Lying about the results of the DNA evidence would just be stupid and probably get him fired. It serves no purpose.

They won't do anything to her.

I just can't help but think how this story would have all been different if Mer was the girl.

"Stripper rapes Duke LaCrosse team"

How bout Kobe's Colorado ho? Pretty much the same thing. She obviously didn't make the whole thing up, but she sure shut up pretty quickly.

Because Kobe's lawyers were good and tore her credibility to shreds. And paid her a tidy sum of money to boot.
Just goes to show, if you have the money you can get away with murder, so to speak. OJ proved that.

The lack of DNA evidence would give it away.

I don't watch CSI for the entertainment.

Plus it was kind of silly of her not to kiss "it" goodbye. That's just polite.

That's completely incorrect. First of all she had no credibility. Her friend said whe was upset after leaving his room but all the other employees didn't notice anything wrong with her. She finished up her job and left. After she left she ****ed some other guy right after being with Kobe, not exactly how a woman acts after being raped. Thirdly she bragged at a party about how big Kobe's cock was in front of many witnesses. Lastly they only decided to give her an undisclosed amount in civil court after having already dropped their criminal charges. One was not related to the other. It makes sense to do that as the more his name is attached to this in the media the longer it will take him to get new endorsement contracts which is huge $$$$. On top of all this her mom worked with the local police department and the family would have never had to work again had they got the rape conviction. If they had any decent chance of getting the conviction they should have gone for it.

What a really skewed perception you have of that case. I am surprised to hear that coming from you. IMO Males in this country deserve what they get when it comes to being victims of women claiming rape. We have set the table for them and believe them not matter what the facts are. Alan's example right here says it all.
