Have you been following the case?
The alleged rape victim isn't sure of the identity of the men she says attacked her, the one she is sure of has a pretty iron-clad alibi. Witnesses who back up said alibi are beng threatened by the DA. The alleged victim has numerous inconsistencies in her various accounts o the alleged crime, and many other things I'm too tired to name, just do a search on the word "duke" here on FR for the other articles. For the most part, I doubt most freepers are supporting these boys because they are athletes, I think it is because most freepers believe that there was no crime here. Whether or not they are athletes is pretty inconsequential.
I could be wrong, but I think this broad is nothing but a gold-digging gutter snipe. If she was raped, why was she hanging out there for hours after the alleged sexual assault took place? This thing stinks likes last month's herring, and it has nothing to do with prefential treatment for jocks.
