To set the record straight! "Astronaut's attorney: She did NOT wear diapers"

ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -- An attorney for a former astronaut wanted to set the record straight Friday: Lisa Nowak didn't wear diapers during the 950-mile road trip to confront a romantic rival.

"The biggest lie in this preposterous tale that has been told is that my client drove from Houston, Texas, to Orlando, Florida, nonstop, wearing a diaper," Donald Lykkebak said after filing motions to suppress evidence in Nowak's criminal case. "That is an absolute fabrication."

The tidbit that Nowak wore diapers during her trip was written in the police report filed after Nowak's arrest in February. The diaper detail became fodder for late-night TV comics and talk radio and even inspired an episode of the NBC show "Law & Order."

There were toddler-size diapers in her car when she was arrested, but they were several years old, Lykkebak said. Nowak and her family had used them when Houston was evacuated in 2005 during Hurricane Rita, he said.

If this is true, peoples' perception of this woman were REALLY manipulated, and she was a national joke due to no fact-checking by the media, or due to deliberate misinformation. She was even mocked by tv comedians over the diaper she didn't wear.

over a guy makes her supremely mockable. Diaper or not.

I doubt anyone, anywhere is likely to support homicidal obsessions.

and we're going to have a future of watching this unfold in the media. I don't think we need yet another nutcase case to distract from Washington.

Media whores one-up the mid schoolers. Wow... another new low.

Lowest point in news reporting...ever!

;) :crazy: LOL

Depends?

I have made that particular trip and we have to stop many times for gas... She would of had to stop for gas.... The diaper makes no sense...

It's pretty impressive what you see in them vs. what comes out in court under cross examination.

...fabracated the whole diaper wearing story for laughs...very funny cops.

but ask any prosecutor, defense attorney or judge over drinks sometime.

It's pretty much an open secret- and it's part of the reason why police reports are almost always inadmissible as evidence.

thats was just the loonytunes icing on the cake.
