Accuser in Duke Lacrosse Case Speaks With New Prosecutors

The new prosecutors in the Duke lacrosse case appear to be making progress in their assessment of the evidence.

Special prosecutors Jim Coman and Mary Winstead took over last month after Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong removed himself from the case. Sources told WRAL the accuser in the case has been interviewed by the new prosecutors in the case.

Nifong didn't question the accuser until nearly nine months after she accused three former lacrosse players of assaulting her.

A representative for state Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office told WRAL that Coman and Winstead are in the process of talking with people and reviewing evidence connected to the case.

The accuser's lies stops here... She is sure not helping herself by telling more lies. I do not even want to know what she said to the special prosecutors because everyone she talks to, she makes up another story. And it has nothing to do with trauma and memory does not get better with over time.

SIXSIX... I am not sure how kidnapping applies to this case but anytime you do not let someone move freely Kidnapping may be charged. Makeing someone go into another room where they do not want to go, for example is kidnapping.

Maybe Nifong waited nine months to talk to the accuser so he could interveiw her new baby too.

thats what i am talking about six, its about time someone tells the truth instead of turning this thing into some racial issue. Everyone is so quick to say they are guilty without knowing all of the facts. Hell by what has been given to the public i dont see how they could be guilty, her damn story changes every time she talks to a different person. This is her job and something went wrong and now she wants to act like she is a nun and get money out of it. Thats all this is for, $MONEY$, remember she is a exotic dancer aka.. striper aka prostetute

It doesn't matter who is handling the "case" now, as a liar is a liar is a liar! When her own friend did not believe her and she changes her story like most of us change clothes, it is amazing that any charges are still pending. Sixsix, I assume they are using the "kidnapping" charge as part of her story that she was restrained in the bathroom during the so-called assault! The kidnapping statute only requires restraint, or movement as a condition of that charge, and since her story is that she could not leave the bathroom of her own free will...that may be what they are looking at. In my thinking, if any part is a lie, then it most likely is all a lie! The reason her story has changed is because she can't make it fit the "evidence, or lack of evidence" in this event. Yes, the boys lacked good judgement by hiring them in the first place, but I firmly do not believe she was ever assaulted. I do believe they probably participated in a lot of name calling, but thats about it!!
