The officer gave the dispatcher the police code for an intoxicated person and said the woman was unconscious.

The photos show the woman attempting to get back inside the house at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. where the attack allegedly occurred on the night of March 13-14, said attorney Bill Thomas, who represents one of the lacrosse players.

"She had a big smile on her face," Thomas said.

Then the woman fell down at the back door of the house and lay on the ground "for quite some time" as if she were intoxicated or asleep, Thomas added.

In addition, the time-stamped photos indicate the woman was severely bruised on her legs and face, and had cuts on her legs, knees and feet when she arrived at the home -- and before the rape allegedly occurred -- Thomas said.

Contrary to earlier reports by the media, no more DNA testing is being done. All the results are in.

Durham attorney Bill Thomas said some of the photographs, taken when she arrived at the house, indicate the woman was injured before getting to the party March 13. They show extensive bruises and scrapes on her legs, especially around the knees, he said.

"This young lady was substantially impaired. She had fallen several times during the course of the evening," Thomas said.

He declined to identify the player he represents and said he would not release the photos, taken by at least two cameras, until pending DNA tests are completed

the host of this site could just as quickly defend the woman in this case from a charge of filing a false police report. It's their job.

Granted that is not corroborated, but there is still no explanation of those significant injuries, consistent with rape, other than, well, rape.

the thing i like about this site is that it is a refreshing and intelligent change from the lynch-mob shoutfests on cable.

Chew2, Character knows no colors. Be realistic, the stipper/escort lacks character. Her profession is notorious for selling their bodies. She has a criminal history of grand theft auto and violence. She's an unwed mother of 2 children. As to the students credibility. They are students at one of the most prestigious colleges in America. There's too much to lose if found to have committed a serious crime. Before this incident, a few have had minor citations for drinking. This is expected behavior from most college students. Notice how I made no mention of anyone's color in my descriptions of their character. Why is it surprising that she would file a false claim rape? She probably sells her body and using it in this fashion is not uncommon. Simply put, this case reeks of a stripper trying to get even for a dispute over getting paid. In a case of she said he said, when you have no other evidence of a crime, all you have left is character. Sans evidence, the prosecutor has a huge mountain to climb to prove a sexual assualt occured beyond a reasonable doubt.

Also Thursday, police released a recording of a 911 call from a Kroger security guard who discovered the woman in a car. On the recording, one of the first officers to respond gave a police dispatcher the police code for an intoxicated person. "She's breathing and appears to be fine," the officer said on the recording. "She's not in distress. She's just passed-out drunk." Police took her to Duke Medical Center, where she told medical personnel she had been raped.

Kerry Sutton, an attorney for one player, said Nifong told her Thursday that he planned "to go to the grand jury with this matter on Monday."

Another player's attorney, James "Butch" Williams, said the district attorney also may seek an indictment on a third player.

Grand juries indict in more than 90 percent of cases presented to them, prosecutors say. The defense isn't allowed to present its case and only 12 of 18 jurors have to agree to issue indictments.

She stated one male identified himself as Adam, but everyone at the party was calling him Dan.

Mr. Flannery admitted to using an alias to make the reservation to have the dancers attend the Lacrosse Team Party

but there is still no explanation of those significant injuries, consistent with rape, other than, well, rape.

"Consistent with" does not even mean a probability. It means "might have been." It also means "might not have been

She, prior to this incident in 2002 had no criminal record, had no driving record, raises her two kids, works, seems to just be a normal hard working lady.

VAN SUSTEREN: While you were representing her, was she an exotic dancer? VANN: That was one of the allegations that was made in the police report that was part of that investigation.

It's pretty hard to say that bruises don't represent injuries and force of some kind. How much can be argued, of course. If she was in the kind of pain and trauma that sources say she was, then they are all lying, including the description of her injuries of a sexual nature, or she is a masochist, or she was likely raped.

By definition, if a woman is impaired, she cannot give consent. So, IF she was that impaired and had sex at the time she was impaired, then she did not give consent.

And by "works" he means strips and turns tricks for an escort service. Let's keep the facts straight.

And I just love the lawyer talk: VAN SUSTEREN: While you were representing her, was she an exotic dancer? VANN: That was one of the allegations that was made in the police report that was part of that investigation. Translation: Yes Greta, she was.

Related hypothetical question: if a woman is intoxicated and consents, the male can later be charged with rape. How about when an intoxicated man is coerced to having sex. Can he later file charges?

I just don't hear a viable alternative explanation. If you have one that fits all the facts of the case as they have been presented, including the description of her injuries, let's hear it. Did I miss one? If I did, I apologize; please refresh my memory.

Unless these three sources (whoever did the rape exam and wrote the report, her father, and the hospital source) are made up, severely mistaken, or all lying, it just seems to me that rape is the most likely explanation.

Let's do keep the facts striaght. Is it a fact that she turns tricks?

Also, re: a male alleging rape... I know I've heard of things like this coming up before, but do you think it's realistic? Off the top of your head, do you know of any cases of this happening?

If she was an escort, as has been reported, than she did turn tricks. We can play semantic games, but escort is code for prostitute.

And by "works" he means strips and turns tricks for an escort service. Let's keep the facts straight.

The accuser had worked for an escort company for two months, doing one-on-one dates about three times a week. "It wasn't the greatest job," she said, her voice trailing off. But with two children, and a full class load at N.C. Central University, it paid well and fit her schedule.

accept the fact that she is (or, hopefully, was) a hooker.

I don't think bring up her past reflects a "cultural hostility toward women." In fact, I won't even accept there is such a thing.

but to claim there is a cultural condition?

It might even provide some insight into how the observed injuries might (might!!) have occurred.

It is particularly relevant when an accuser's promiscuity and "sexual ethos" put her in situations that lead to assault. Please don't read that as an excuse (I'm sure it will be...)

Have any opinion that floats your boat about her sexual assault claim, but accept the fact that she is (or, hopefully, was) a hooker.

Do you not understand the rhetorical power of the phrase, "put herself in those situations"?

I wouldn't equate the hostility "both sides" endure so easily as you do.

It does mean you are putting yourself in a higher-than-average risk of being the victim of assault.

But anyway, it would have been very simple to admit that what this woman has gone through is not comparable to what the LaCrosse players have dealt with.

I put an idea to you, and you dismiss it in a way that you think is cute.

But anyway, it would have been very simple to admit that what this woman has gone through is not comparable to what the LaCrosse players have dealt with.

Our overall response reminds rape victims everywhere: think twice before you come forward, because when everything was in doubt, from the beginning even the liberals were all over this woman.

But if it turns out that this is a false accusation, then how do we "reinforce" to women everywhere, "Don't do that!"?

No assumptions, imho. Unless you are challenging the credibility of the reporter?

If you're just messing around on a blog here, that's one thing. If you are truly unwilling to accept her self-admitted occupation, that speaks volumes.

Have any opinion that floats your boat about her sexual assault claim, but accept the fact that she is (or, hopefully, was) a hooker.

I feel it's safe to assume that if under-reported rapes are as rampant as you allege they are, so are false accusations of rape

Escorts can have "one on one" dates without having any kind of sex.

We're not talking about "escorts" we're talking about her. Just like "getting laid" means "having sex," when she talked about doing "one-on-one" dates she meant hooking.

I think we've wasted enough bandwidth on this one.
