Lest We Forget... ...at Duke, there's still a rape scandal going on, and the attorney for defendant Reade Seligmann wants the D.A. to release the accuser's medical, criminal and educational records.

According to the Duke Chronicle, "The complaining witness has a history of criminal activity and behavior, which includes alcohol abuse, drug abuse and dishonesty, all conduct which indicate mental, emotional and/or physical problems, which affect her credibility as a witness," defense attorney Kirk Osborn wrote in the motion.

Interesting. If true, that would both be intriguing (though not necessarily relevant) and, one presumes, an attempt to subvert the prosecution before this case comes to trial.

Meanwhile, D.A. Mike Nifong may reinstate misdemeanor charges against five of the lacrosse players for underage drinking and noise violations stemming from the infamous party.

He is tireless in his pursuit of justice, that man. Or, at least, someone he can convict of something....
