In Great Detail

In a motion filed on September 20, District Attorney Mike Nifong states that the Duke Hoax accuser has the “ability to recall in great detail the events prior to and during” her alleged assault. Considering that nearly all of the details she has provided in her police statements, her statements to medical personnel, her “identification” sessions, and her News & Observer interview have been contradicted by her own words, forensic evidence and the statements of other witnesses, it is difficult to imagine on what basis Nifong has concluded that she has the “ability to recall in great detail.”

If DA Nifong is to be believed, neither he, nor anyone else from his office, has asked the accuser to relate her recollections, therefore, the basis for Nifong’s affirmation of the accuser’s great "memory" cannot be his personal evaluation of her sincerity, clarity or credibility with regard to these “details.” It seems absurd that Mr. Nifong would vouch for her “ability to recall in great detail” without ever having heard those details recalled firsthand. His claim also appears to be contradicted by his continual willingness to offer his own contradictions of many of those "details" supposedly recalled.

In great detail, the accuser “recalled” a thirty minute alleged assault yet Mr. Nifong puts forth the theory that the alleged assault took but five to ten minutes. In great detail, the accuser “recalled” the alleged attackers as having used no condoms yet Mr. Nifong put forth the theory that the attackers did use condoms.

In great detail, the accuser “recalled” that one of her “attackers” ejaculated in her mouth which she then spit onto the floor yet DNA testing proved these “recollections” to be false. In great detail, the accuser identified four men that she “recalled” as having been the three men who allegedly assaulted her. In great detail, the accuser “recalled” people who were at the party yet some of the people she recalled as having been present were not. In great detail, the accuser “recalled” David Evans as having having a mustache yet he never has. In great detail, the accuser “recalled” have been assaulted by three, five, twenty and zero men.

In great detail, the accuser “recalled” being subjected to racial slurs shortly after entering the house yet the second dancer disputes that assertion. In great detail, the accuser “recalled” being torn from the arms of Kim Roberts as the assault began yet Ms. Roberts denies that this occurred. Perhaps the only recollection of the accuser that has not been disproved by witness statements, scientific evidence, photographs, electronic records or her own words is the recollection that she danced briefly at the party.

Despite the fact that a point by point refutation of nearly each and every “recollection” presented by the accuser has been available to District Attorney Nifong, and to the police investigators that were ordered to report to him directly as lead investigator of the Hoax, Mr. Nifong claims that he has not yet gotten to the point where he is ready to interview the accuser. It appears that virtually no attempt has been made to clarify any of the inconsistencies in her “recollections” yet DA Nifong states that she has the “ability to recall in great detail.”

I bet Nifong meant to say that she has the "ability to fabricate in great detail." It was probably just a typo!

Kim is dropping bombshells on Good Morning America.

Precious asked Kim to put marks on her...

Good piece, Liestoppers. Could this case get any less credible? When I began following this case, I thought the players were probably innocent, however, I assumed the DA must have SOME kind of evidence. However, knowing that he hasn't even spoken to this woman about the case, yet alters the 30 minute rape to 5-10 minutes is insane.

As a rape suvivor I can tell you that any District Attorney would have spoken to his or her victim.

When I was raped the A.D.A. on my case, was on the phone with me at least once or twice a week. We did go over the facts of the case.

Nifong I will bet has talked to the accuser and they talked about how to frame these young men.

Nifong has told so many lies that he is having trouble keeping them all straight.

This would be comical if it were not for the lives of THREE INNOCENT MEN at stake.

I hope this case does go to trial. Putting Precious on the stand will be the best entertainment in years!!!

Nifing's excuse when the case explodes , "Precious was too distraught to testify to the best of her ability".

I hope the defense attorney RIP her to pieces!

kim is a lying b---- and it is obvious the defense/families paid her off to keep telling stories. if this was true, why did she not tell this to ed bradley? kim is making it up as she goes along and as the payments come in. too bad no one in durham listened to a thing she said. she would shoot her own mother for a dollar.

When I read that "if any drug had been administered to her, it was not...date rape drugs", it made me curious if he was hoping to imply that the players gave her more of her own prescriptions, in addition to helping her memory look to be okay then.
