. ... .. .. Read On .. .. .. . Charges dropped in alleged Smoky Mountain rape AP By DUNCAN MANSFIELD, Associated Press Writer Duncan Mansfield, Associated Press Writer – 18 mins ago KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee prosecutors have dropped charges against a Georgia man accused of kidnapping and raping a woman in a Smoky Mountain cabin before a pizza deliveryman called police. Assistant District Attorney Steven Hawkins told The Associated Press on Thursday that the credibility of the alleged victim was in doubt. He said that based on all the evidence, prosecutors believed they could not obtain a conviction against 46-year-old David Jansen of Snellville, Ga. The 24-year-old Atlanta woman has twice pleaded guilty in separate cases in Georgia to making false reports about being assaulted. Deputies arrested Jansen at the rental cabin in May after the deliveryman called authorities to say a woman was tied up in the cabin and had mouthed the words, "Please call 911." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090702/ap_on_re_us/us_rape_rescue . |

Press Release April 28, 2006 As you know, the Associated Press broke a story yesterday alleging that the victim in what has come to be known as the "Duke Lacrosse Rape Case" had reported approximately ten years ago that she had been sexually assaulted approximately thirteen years ago. . . Much has been said about the presumption of innocence in conjunction with this case. It is important to keep in mind that it is the finder of fact in any criminal case--the jury--who must presume innocence. Not only is the prosecutor not required to presume a defendant innocent, but it would be a violation of his ethical duties to prosecute any person in whose guilt he did not personally believe. And, if the prosecutor personally believes in a defendant's guilt, it would be a violation of his moral responsibility to the victim and to his community not to prosecute a case because doing so was not popular, or because he was worried that he might not win at trial. The investigation of this case is not yet complete. All of the facts are not yet known...For the sake of the victim, for the sake of the accused, for the sake of our system of justice, I encourage everyone to step back from this situation and allow that system to do its job. Mike Nifong District Attorney Durham, North Carolina |

The investigation never really began (until Cooper took over.) And for once Nifong was truthful when he said "All of the facts are not yet known." Yes, all the non-LAX DNA found on the accuser's not-so-private parts -- you (Nifong) were that hiding that when you made the statement "All of the facts are not yet known." And we still don't know how it was that you, a DA, were able to take over the case, taking control away from the DPD. Yes, there are many facts that we do not yet know -- but you are always welcome to come clean. Edited by MikeZPU, Jul 2 2009, 04:58 PM.
