Employee kept notes of interaction with accuser BY ANNE BLYTHE - STAFF WRITER Published: Mon, Sep. 18, 2006 04:14PM Modified Mon, Sep. 18, 2006 04:28PM http://www.newsobserver.com/1185/story/487858.html DURHAM -- (snip) In the early hours of March 14, the accuser was taken to Durham Access Center because she reportedly met the criteria for involuntary commitment, defense lawyer Brad Bannon wrote in the motion filed in Durham County Court today. (snip) Gerri Lomuriel Wilkes, who was working at the center the morning the accuser came in, took hand-written notes of her observations, according to the motion. (snip) District Attorney Mike Nifong has told defense lawyers during discovery hearings that no notes were made at the center, that only a log existed from there. (snip) Also, defense lawyers are asking the state for a bill of particulars in which they hope to get a more precise timeline of the alleged offenses and find out which bathroom at 610 N. Buchanan the gang-rape allegedly occurred. They also are asking the state to specify which "sexual act" each defendant is accused of committing. [This would have been impossible, given Crystal's continuing changes of stories and mix-ups. The 6th amendment guarantees the right to know exactly what one is charged with. "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district where in the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence." Had Nifong been required to produce a Bill of Particulars, the case would have been shown up for the hoax it was. |
