Finally some progress in this case. We are now heading in the correct direction of getting the case dropped.

One side comment: Early on in this case, several people in the Durham community and also some national stated their belief that if the accuser was a white woman and the accused were black men on the basketball of a HBCU school, then the whole case would have been handled differently and the law would have acted quicker and more forcefully against the men accused.

Let us imagine such a situation and then the case plays out as it did. DNA evidence comes back negative, the accuser changes her story multiple times. In response to this the Prosecutor drops the rape charges but keeps in place the kidnapping and assault charges.

What would have been the response of the community of Durham and the Nation at large?

1)There would have been more than ethics charges filed by the NC Bar
2)The feds would not have needed to be invited to look into the case.
3)Rev. Sharpton and Rev. Jackson would have set up shop within city limit and have mobilized multiple marches.
4)There probably would have been some sort of race riot.

It does seem to lead credence to the belief that it is much harder to get justice in America if you are a white male (especially if you are accused of harming either a white female or just a non white of any sort).
