Duke Lacrosse Accuser Goes Mum

Charlotte, NC (TLS). The adult entertainer/stripper/prostitute who accused three Duke students of rape and then changed her story numerous times is now refusing to cooperate with investigators. Her partner in crime who also formerly provided police and D.A. investigators with information is also refusing to talk.

This curious turn of events comes after a year of one of the most shameful chapters in American jurisprudence as multiple sources of evidence emerged proving that Durham D.A. Mike Nifong had no case and that he engaged in political opportunism at its worst in using the suspicious story of the strippers to conjure a hoax in order to get re-elected to office.

For the better part of a year, the strippers in question appeared to cooperate fully with the purveyors of the hoax. Now that Nifong is no longer on the case, and special prosecutors have been assigned to pour over documents and evidence (what little there is of it), the two supposed 'victims' are no longer cooperating with authorities.

This could well be the signal that the case is truly beginning to unravel from the perspective of the Special Prosecutors and N.C. Attorney-General Roy Cooper.

When an accuser who played up the role of the victim so vociferously comes under fire for contradictions, changes in testimony, making wild accusations and then withdrawing some of the accusations, and then goes mute, this is usually a fairly good indicator that the said accuser realizes that he/she has been had, that authorities are onto them, and that they had better keep their mouths shut so as not to further implicate themselves should they be charged with falsely accusing innocent persons and lying to the court.

We can also be fairly certain that the next thing we will hear out of these two sleazy characters is that they have hired attorneys and that all further questions directed to them by the Special Prosecutors must be handled through their attorneys.

If there is one single ounce of integrity left within the N.C. Judicial System, the Special Prosecutors will drop ALL charges against the three students and proceed with charges against the two strippers/prostitutes whose false testimony started this entire fiasco.
