The Mystery of the Missing Shoe - Solved!

"I (Linwood Wilson) showed [the accuser] a picture from the Dan Abrams show on MSBNC showing her on the porch at the door. Inv. Wilson asked [the accuser] when the picture was taken. [The accuser] stated the picture was taken when she arrived and was going into the house because it was showing her putting her money in her purse." - Page 5 of Defendant Nifong's Chief Investigator Linwood Wilson's "Investigative" Report

    Why only show one picture? No follow up question as to why she only had on one shoe?

    The missing shoe and the time stamp on the photo at 12:30?

    Inv. Wilson really did not want to know.

    I feel suddenly like Alice in Wonderland talking to the Caterpiller

    `In my youth,' Father William replied to his son,
    `I feared it might injure the brain;
    But, now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
    Why, I do it again and again.'

    Where have the brains in the heads of Nifong, the police, the press and the justice system in general gone in Durham?

    Just so you know Dan Abrams was on the Tucker show on MSNBC today. They usually run the show at 6PM. I caught the very end of Dan, but he should be on in the last half hour of his 6PM rerun of his 4PM show.

    This and more Sunday night.
    Nifong's future: NOT bright!

    (CBS) The forensic expert hired by the prosecutor in the Duke rape case says he made a "big error" in judgment by not stating in his report that the only DNA he found on the accuser was from several men who were not on the Duke lacrosse team.

    Dr. Brian Meehan speaks with 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl in his first interview about the controversial case this Sunday, Jan. 14, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

    Meehan acknowledged that he has never omitted potentially exculpatory evidence before. "We haven't done that before," he tells Stahl. "In retrospect, I should have done a better job of conveying that information."

    Meehan has stated that he told the prosecutor, Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong, about the other DNA for the first time in mid-April. Later that same month, Nifong indicted three Duke lacrosse players. Meehan has also said in court proceedings that he and Nifong agreed before the evidence tests were completed that his report should be limited to positive matches between the accuser and the players at the team party where she says she was sexually assaulted last March.

    Meehan says writing an incomplete report violates his own firm's standards. "It was an error in judgment on my part. … It certainly was a big error," says Meehan. He says his firm wasn't trying to hide the information and that it released it when it was asked. But his client's behavior irks him, he says.

    Nifong took six months to tell the players' defense attorneys about the other DNA, as required by law — and during that time, Nifong filed a court motion that stated he was not aware of any potentially exculpatory evidence.

    The fact that Nifong withheld the information and knew it before he indicted their sons has outraged the parents of the accused. "You felt like someone hit you with a baseball bat. … It was almost too much to bear, as we sat there," says Kathy Seligmann, whose son, Reade, is among the three indicted players. "And [Nifong is] sitting 10 feet away from us."

    It enraged Mary Ellen Finnerty, mother of Collin Finnerty, another indicted player. "I think [I felt] one of the strongest feelings of rage that I've had … I literally had to turn to my husband, because I was shaking from my head to my toe, and say, 'Hold me down,'" recalls Finnerty. Adds Seligmann, "And we had to hold on to each other because when you sit there and put two and two together and realize that it was calculated … set up to make these boys appear to be guilty of something they didn't do."

    When asked what they would say to Nifong if he were in the room, Rae Evans, the mother of indicted player David Evans, says, "I would say with a smile on my face, 'Mr. Nifong, you've picked on the wrong families … and you will pay every day for the rest of your life.'"

    Last month, after the results of the tests were ordered released by a judge and the accuser told an investigator she was no longer certain she had been penetrated by a male sex organ, rape charges were dropped by Nifong. The three players still face charges of sexual assault and kidnapping.

    The victim stated early on about some guy didn't want to participate in the rape because he was getting married. She said early on a guy was watching. Sooooo... she hasn't changed anything. We knew that already. Remember the dukes lied about it being a bachelor party from the first get-go. We all knew about DE's DNA being found on a towel. It was reported in the N & O several months ago. Go and look it up.

    The defense is making it look like the story is changing again and that's NOT true.

    And may I also add:
    A person who WATCHES an assault take place and does NOT help the victim or try to stop the attack deserves to be charged with a crime. That person is the lowest scum I have ever layed eyes on in my life.

    Yes, the dukes are liars and it's being uncovered. They lied about the number of people being at the party, lied about who they were, (remember Adam, Brett, & Matt), lied about the "bachelor party". Why lie?...unless evil intentions were in their mind. Or to make it look like members of another team were involved. Talk about lowdown s*%t. DE's strikes me as trying to be a smart ass.

    Read James...it was told from the beginning. Suddenly you duke supporters have amnesia and can't remember s*%t. WTF's up with that.

  35. of course you will.

    why would facts, evidence, the truth, or any form of logical reasoning interfere with what you "believe"?

    DNA evidence? time-stamped photos? a rock solid alibi? none of that can compare to what justice58 "believes", because apparently believing doesn't require any sort of rational thought process.

    honestly, I don't know if you're irrevocably prejudiced, or just some awful combination of gullible, stubborn and stupid.

    You need a sense of proportion, lying about rape and lying about a bachelor party are two different things...the reason you lie about the number of people present is to keep the cost down, per my wonderful husband, who attended a couple of "stripper" parties way back when he was a student. Do you really think they were plotting so much evil in their own residence? Hate to be you with all the hate and jealousy that consumes you!

    And so being the professionals these two women were, they did not immediately leave? Rather they took ?$800 from the young men?

    One of them was so messed up she could do nothing, was found by police but a couple of hours later TOTALLY incoherent and passed out from substances she obtained not at the Duke party, but elsewhere. Probably where she also gained the other 5 gentleman's sperm as well!

    Justice58, here is the significance of the white towel:
    The alleged victim never mentioned it in any of the early statements. After she finds out that a white towel was found with DNA on it, she adds it to her story. Amazingly, the white towel was able to remover 100% of DE's DNA from the AV without picking up any of the other males' DNA that was later found on her. Or her DNA.

  42. 1:31

    She did say in the beginning they wiped her down with a rag....I assume it was the towel she was talking about. Later, the report comes out in the N & O about a white towel with DE's DNA on it. Tell me how in the world did she know DE's lived in that house? What are the odds? She picked him out and it just happens his DNA is found on/under her fingernail. That is a red flag to me jnt. What are the odds of something like that happening?

    Justice--your ability to skew the facts amazes me..

    "on/under the fingernail"

    well which is it? Because it is ON the fingernail, not UNDER, but UNDER just sounds so much more incriminating doesn't it? And I mean, on and under are basically the same, but UNDER connotates a struggle in which she scratched her attackers and got dna under her nails..but that didn't happen, and no, there was no DNA match UNDER her fingernails, it was on the TOP of the fingernail, it was a partial match that came from the nail being in close proximity to tissues, qtips and toilet paper in the garbage can (which was in EVANS bathroom). That's why it wasnt a full match, it barely brushed another object with his dna on it. You skew the facts to make it sound more plausible, like something sinister happened, when it has not only already been debunked but has been proven absolutely meaningless. a PARTIAL dna match was found ON the TOP of the finger nail only...but keep lying about shit to make it seem like there's still a case...it's really really working.

    Also-if evans used the towel to wipe himself off AND the stripper, why is HIS dna on the towel and not hers? Does she have magic dna?

    Also, you neglected to mention (shocking, you forgot to mention exculpatory evidence) that someone else's DNA was found on the towel, not belonging to the accuser or any lax player. Evans I think (though I might be wrong on this) said he had slept with a girl and that towel was used. So your towel comment means nothing. If it doesn't have her DNA on it, it's about as shocking to find DNA on HIS towel in HIS house as it would be to find DNA from skin on his shirts and pants--it belongs there.
