Duke Update: Mum's the word from the accuser

Suddenly she is being quite circumspect. Story here. Excerpt:

'March 16, 2007 — The woman who accused three members of the Duke University men's lacrosse team of sexual assault is not being forthcoming with special prosecutors, law enforcement sources close to the case tell ABC News.

The accuser has met at least twice with prosecutors from the North Carolina attorney general's office, which took over the case from Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong in January.

In those interviews, she gave incomplete answers when asked about the alleged assault and the events surrounding it, according to sources.'

So Crystal Gayle Magnum is not cooperating with the new prosecutors. Could it be that they have their BS meters switched on after all of the exposure in the media? Or is she trying to compose a new version of her story?
In any case, this transparent farce can end anytime now.

(From the article) -- "Oettinger, the victims' rights advocate, said the mix of the media glare, which included attacks on the accuser's credibility, could contribute to her reluctance to talk about an alleged crime. ...

Oettinger said that the accuser's changing recollection of that night did not necessarily make it less likely that an assault had taken place. ...

Victims' advocates caution that even if accusers opts out of telling their story to investigators, ultimately deciding not to pursue the case, that in itself is not a declaration of alleged attackers' innocence."

Yes, there is no feminist logic, principle of justice, or scientific data that will PROVE the lacrosse men are INNOCENT!

After all, they are male.

Vis a vis feminist theory ... GUILTY a priori by virtue of a chromosome.

This shite is getting deep in FemAmerica...

Mainly, she should never have opened her mouth in the first place, other than to say "they raped me!". The injustice system would have taken it from there; the entire team (except for the one black guy) would have already been convicted. Or putting it another way, if she had never made any further statements, they wouldn't need to prove or disprove those statements, for example they would not need any physical evidence. Remember, it is the woman's word alone which gives the truth, since women never lie about rape.

It serves as the case that changes the system. If this case inspires new laws in regards to sexual assault cases that allow for anonymity for ALL parties involved, the need for corroborating evidence - even in he said/she said cases there has to be something that lends credibility to one side or the other. Proper and thorough police investigations - that look for ALL evidence and not just incriminating evidence - would be a good start in finding corroborating evidence that is all to often overlooked in the current male perpetrator/female victim mindset that disregards anything that does not correspond with male guilt.

Dramatic changes need to be made in the way sex crimes are handled from the very first report in order to ensure justice for all parties and not merely a burn the witch (rapist/pedophile/sex offender or whatever else) farce of an investigation/trial that gives a free pass to liars and mentally ill women to use the system for their own purposes (revenge, alibi, sympathy or all three and more)

The system has to work for everyone, not just the accuser.

In an ironic sense, this Duke scandal shows how the current DV laws doubly victimize everybody.

The stripper gets outted for the slut she is.

The lacrosse boys get outted for the privileged stupid college boys they are.

Nifong gets outted as the political whore he is.

The women's advocates get outted for the liars and feminist liars (oh,redundant, sorry) that they pride themselves to be.

JUSTICE GETS OUTTED FOR THE SHAM THAT IT HAS BECOME IN FEM-AMERICA.

So, maybe the glass is really half-full, after all?

I hope that all of the charges will be dropped soon so that the male victims can get on with their lawsuits against Nifong, the City of Durham, the Gang of '88, the DNA tester, the accuser, the University, and various media sources. That's the part I'm looking forward to. I say, let the lawsuits commence!

I hope that these guys are petty and vindictive and that they seek out revenge in the courts.

What is the gang of '88..are you referring to the coterie of feminists and academicians and "intellectuals", who were vigorously pursuing having the boys found guilty and punished? Or are you referring to something in the year 1988?

The observation is that, the media will never be successfully sued for anything, now, in the past, or forever into the future. 99.9% of the time, victims of the media's incredible irresponsibility don't even try to sue them, as they know this is fruitless.

The media is an incredible disgrace to American society. They are so irresponsible as to be extremely dangerous. Whenever I mention that, people falsely accuse me of wanting to silence the truth or being "pro-censorship".

One example, is how the media tried to undermine the war in Afghanistan (and this right after 9/11). Several times a day, we heard from them that "there are reports that the war effort is not going well..". Then it turned out there were no such reports from the field or among the politicians, but only from the media themselves.
