Duke Rape Case: Prosecutor Yet to Interview Rape Accuser

Given the fact that the Associated Press is not know for either its accuracy or it fairness, this story by Aaron Beard is interesting because of what it tells us about the Duke Rape Case.

The case has been in the headlines for months, three young men have been accused of a vicious rape; their lives either ruined or forever changed. The Prosecutor, Mike Nifong has given countless interview on the case and has built his political career and hopes for re-election on it, but …

The district attorney prosecuting three Duke Lacrosse players accused of raping a woman at a team party said during a court hearing Friday that he still hasn't interviewed the accuser about the facts of the case.

This is not only hard to believe, but if it’s true, it represents one of the most egregious cases of official malfeasance I have ever encountered.

UPDATE:
According to the Raleigh News & Observer, there is now a video showing the accuser pole dancing during the time period she was visiting hospitals complaining of pain.

A woman identified as the accuser in the Duke lacrosse rape case performed an athletic pole dance at a Hillsborough strip club at the same time that the accuser was visiting hospitals complaining of intense pain from being assaulted.

A time-stamped video shows a woman at The Platinum Club on March 26. The club's former security manager, H.P. Thomas, identified her as the accuser.

The video, reviewed by The News & Observer, shows a limber performer. The same woman told doctors at UNC and Duke hospitals around that time that she had been beaten and assaulted and was racked with pain.
