Three Players Were Facing Charges of First Degree Kidnapping, First Degree Forcible Sexual Offense
By LARA SETRAKIAN ABC News Law & Justice Unit
April 10, 2007 - The office of Attorney General Roy Cooper will announce that he is dismissing all charges against three Duke Lacrosse players, ABC News has learned from sources close to the case. The reasons that will be cited for the dismissal are not yet known.
The three players, Reade Seligmann, David Evans and Collin Finnerty were facing charges of first degree kidnapping and first degree forcible sexual offense. The charges stem from an off-campus party on the night of March 13, 2006. In the hours after the party, one of two dancers hired to perform for the players claimed she had been violently raped in a bathroom by members of the lacrosse team.
The players had also been indicted for first degree rape, but that charge was dismissed on Dec. 22, 2006.

Here's a live thread for all that is being reported today!
I am holding by breath. Praying this is about to finally be over.
That giant thunderous “BOOM” you just heard was District Attorney Nifong’s anus slamming shut...
It looks like this nightmare is finally coming to a close, we can only hope that the nightmare is only beginning for Nifong and Mangum and everyone else who put these young men through hell this past year.
TODAY.
Beyond mind boggling
Thanks for pointing that out. I’m unable to differentiate his anus from the rest of him.
I think his nightmare starts on Friday.
This is what happens when the sixth amendment is taken away from non preferred portions of the population....
Wonder how long that gets to stay on? I had a similiar one deleted yesterday on the ANS thread.
I hope they go after the administration and faculty of Duke as well as the NC AG’s office. What are they gonna get from the accuser, that scholarship that Jesse Jack-sun promised? You can’t get blood from a stone.
The “accuser” should be arrested, or at the very least sued. Any book deal, etc. should fund the TRUE victims, the ones she slandered.
I want to see suits against Nifong, the County and Duke University. I am sick of this business where white men are considered fair game for any unwarranted attack like this was.
Hey Howlin, since I’m down here in Derm now, can you add me to the Duke lacrosse ping list? Thanks.
PS: honk!

It’s gone already. : )
Brace for all of the backlash that will happen if indeed all charges are dropped. All of the ‘do-gooders’ are going to scream racism, white privilege, poor black girl reduced to being a stripper to feed her herself and her kids, and on and on.
