Is there any evidence?

We already know there is no conclusive DNA evidence linking the Duke lacrosse players to the alleged rape victim. Now the local ABC affiliate in Raleigh-Durham has looked at another piece of evidence in the case, and it appears to undermine the DA’s case as well.

Mary Katherine Ham looks at the info, pointing out the obvious: The D.A. has been saying that the alleged attack took place in the bathroom of the house for 30 minutes between midnight, when the girls arrived, and 12:55 a.m., when the police responded to the first 911 call to find an empty house. The only gap in the picture timeline is from 12:10-12:30 a.m., but the pictures show she was injured before that gap.

Also, one of the accused players, Reade Seligmann, apparently has an alibi:..

Additionally, LaShawn Barber addresses the photo timeline as well.

This can’t be going anywhere fast. Why? Simple:

1) No physical (DNA) evidence links any of the players to the victim.
2) The victim’s friend has said that she had not witnessed any rape nor any personal knowledge that such an act occurred.
3) Now we have photos that show the victim with her injuries prior to the alleged incidents occurrence and substantiate the claim made by folks at the party that she was sloppy-drunk and passed out; a point substantiated as well by police communications made that night.

What else does Mr. Nifong know that the rest of us don’t? ‘Cause the only way he’s got any case at all here it seems is if he’s in possession of a seriously magic bullet.
