Around 25 minutes out from the hearing, a few familiar faces are in the room--Beth Brewer and Jackie Brown, leaders in the Recall Nifong effort. They're ready for Nifong, armed with their Fantastic Lies buttons and Innocent wristbands.
The New York Times' Duff Wilson was by earlier, chatting with Brown; he also introduced himself to me, and clarified for me that the evidence he cited in his August 25 article was Tara Levicy's report.
This point should, once again, highlight Levicy's importance in perpetuating Nifong's fraud.

keep up the good work, kc
mr. pepsi
Your continued coverage and diligence is much appreciated. It's hard to imagine how I, or any other reasonably minded person, could have otherwise followed this travesty without your efforts. I look forward to the book.
This is off topic.
Liestoppers has a link to a Jon Stewart video in which he humiliates, excoriates, lampoons, and generally demolishes Nancy Grace over here coverage of the Duke case. IT IS A MUST SEE!
are any of the players or the family members there? Is Cash or Vicky there? Cy and his son? Mayor Bell?
I am no fan of Mr. Stewart, but that was a funny bit. DNA is important - it will make this case. DNA doesn't matter - there was still a terrible crime!
Where is Nancy Full Of Grace now?
Duff Wilson...silence
thugniggaintellectual...silence
Kim Curtis...silence
Waheema Lubiano..."forthcoming"...hahaha, what a FRAUD...seriously, though, silence
Cash Michaels...silence
KC, I would expect that you are in your trademark bow tie, so Duff must recognize you. I assume he must know that you have been excoriating him, so does he acknowledge your presence or does he pretend you're not there?
Thanks for your diligence.
I wonder what Tara Levicy's report actually said?
It would be very interesting to find out from those that have seen discovery.
Sounds to me as though Levicy was trying to channel her favorite "play," the "Vagina Monologues." So much evil. Lies, lies, lies.
You, KC, are a very lucky guy. Personally witnessing Mr. Nifong's State Bar proceedings will be riveting I'm guessing. Thank you for posting--we are eagerly awaiting any tidbits you can get out to us.

I thought journalist were suppose to do more than one check on a source. Duff Wilson should loose his job after he apologizes on the front page of the NTY. His editor could also be fired. I hope they both get sued. Happy to see the Finnerty's have hired a NY attorney, I hope they go after everyone.
Sorry, KC, Duff Wilson is being disingenuous at best in trying to pass off his shoddy August 25th NYT hit piece as the result of reading SANE nurse-trainee Tara Levicy's report. Lucky him, the article is nestled behind the TimesSelect wall, but this 9/06 post contains a fair-use extract of about half of the abridged article that went over the NYT News Service Wire.
I have no trouble believing that Levicy's report was misleading, but Wilson earns a solid "F" even with those references stricken.
Sounds like his memory's a bit faulty... or he's betting that you don't have Lexis/Nexis enabled on your wireless device.
I'm also very curious to know what was actually in newbie nurse Levicy's report. Did she explain how she recognized "diffuse edema" in a vagina -- something which has perplexed so many other, much more experienced medical practitioners? Did she document any injuries other than the 2 scratches on the heel and foot? (We know from the party photos that Crystal had other, old injuries, including a scabbed-over wound on one knee, and what appears to be some bruising on her legs). Did she make conclusions about Crystal's "demeanor" -- even though she had never met the woman before that night and knew nothing of her history of mental illness and her habit of playacting (fake passing out, etc.) when under stress? So many questions . . . hope we'll get some answers soon.
JLS says....,
I must agree with amac. The SANE in training said at most a mild condition, "injury" if you want, consistent with rape. It certainly failed to find the brusiing an other injuries consistnt with Mangum's story. So that does not get the NYT guy off the hook.
While I think people with such obvious bias in their background should not be admitted to such programs or hired in such positions, I don't really know what the SANE in training did? As far as I know, she reported what was there, swelling. She did not report was was not there, bruises etc. But Professor Johnson seems to think differently so I wonder if he knows something I missed or is not in the public arena yet?

That's good. Reporters for the NYT not only don't check more than one source, they make things up out of whole cloth. They are "reality based" don't you see - facts do not matter. The metanarrative is the only important thing.
I don't see blaming the SANE nurse. She wrote down what was found in the exam. Most women don't get injured from consensual sex so any kind of redness or bruising would be noted as evidence showing 'blunt force trauma' as consistent with rape.
It was Nifong who lied about it and exxaggerated what was actually in the report. The 'injury' was as mild as you can have. However, injury doesn't make it rape just like no injury doesn't make it consensual.
Duff like Nifong has written a lot of lies and vicious innuendo. I have no reason to believe Duff and he should be hiding under a rock. I disagree with you totally on poor nurse Tara's comments - am anxious to see what she told the AG -
Come on - Nifong "My reading of the ED nurse's reprot indicates a rape occurred." Now we know that is a lie and the report was not even published at that time." Gottlies story is not any better 0 we know he is a liar. Why, with all the untruths in this case, would anyone believe this story about the nurse. Every body has an agenda - to state the Nurse should not have been allowed to train is outrageous.Baginal swelling is not writing her vagina was ripped. No rednes or bruising noted on her checklist.
Please Nurse Tara - call the Inquirer and get paid for your part of the event. I am anxious to hear your side.
Nurses are leaving the profession in droves - no one is being paid enough to ruin their backs with all the fat people in hospitals, needing turning and lifting. Soon, people will be happy to have a green monkey to take care of them.
I think there's a lot of confusion about the SANE nurse in training, other medical personnel, Gotleib, who said what, who wrote what, and who repeated or wrote down what somebody else said.
I'm sure it will be cleared up in the book.
In the old days, if I was confused about the medical exam(s), I would have expected to get the full and accurate story from the New York Times. Boy are those days over.
MacD says...
Nifong gave Wilson the medical records? Hello HIPAA violation. Add another count of criminal misconduct to Nifong's docket.
If Nifong doesn 't serve at least 10 years in prison, it will be a travesty. His conduct is far beyond losing his law license. He should face a criminal trial and be put under oath. His cop buddies should be called to testify.
I think a clarification is in order: The language in the SANE report, which referred to evidence "consistent with sexual assault" is very different from "proof of rape." It does not confirm the rape accusation. It merely asserts that the evidence at the time did not contradict the accusation.
My understanding is that the conclusion of the SANE report addresses the question, "Was this person sexually assaulted?" It seems like the possible answers are "no" or "maybe" and in this case, the answer was "maybe."
Am I getting this right? Just looking for some objectivity. Nifong's implosion has splattered smelly scum onto a lot of people - some probably deserve it and some not.
