The cab driver who has bolstered Reade Seligmann’s alibi in the Duke lacrosse case is now suggesting that a second passenger he picked up from the party later was acting in a more disturbing manner:

A cab driver called to take a Duke University lacrosse player home from a team party says his passenger, now charged with raping an exotic dancer, seemed calm and even jovial that night. But a second passenger he picked up later was talking about a stripper, he said.

Moez Mostafa said the second passenger spoke about a stripper in a tone that made it “look to me like somebody get hurt.”

…Mostafa declined to speak to The Associated Press on Wednesday but confirmed to other media outlets that he picked up Seligmann and another passenger at 12:19 a.m., took them to a bank and a drive-through hamburger stand, then dropped them off at a Duke dormitory.

“They were just joking and laughing inside my car and everything just fine,” Mostafa said in accented English in an interview broadcast Thursday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.

“In an interview on MSNBC, Mostafa said he returned to the house later to pick up another customer. He said he remembered that person “said in a loud voice, ‘She just a stripper.’”

Asked whether the second fare was complaining about the stripper or whether it appeared something bad had happened to her, Mostafa initially said he didn’t “have any information about what was going on in the house.”

“When I look back, he look like he mad at the stripper. Or the stripper, she going to call the police and she just a stripper. … It look to me like somebody get hurt. But what kind of harm, … I have no idea.”

This makes me wonder: Maybe something did happen but Nifong arrested the wrong person and blew the case. What a mess.
