(CBS) The three Duke lacrosse players indicted for a rape they say they didn't commit are indignant over the effect the charges are having on their lives and their families.
In their first interviews, they speak to Ed Bradley this Sunday, Oct. 15, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Nonsense. Innocent people should not go on trial to prove their innocence.
Good points.
Dan was always the dullest knife in that drawer.
Don't you remember that Jesse Jackson of the Rainbow bunch offered to pay her college expense "whether she's guilty or not"?
Nifong should do hard time for what he's done to these boys, Duke and the Durham area. I think 7-10 in the clink would be ok.
I would agree with you if our CJS was about finding truth. Unfortunately, all too often, it is not. Call me a cynic, but I think the best thing that could happen to these three victims is for the criminal case to be dismissed and civil proceedings launched to attempt to restore their reputations.
Remember the reports that Kim and Crystal got together and sobbed and clutched each other? More crap from the media or the racebaiters. The marchers were scary. That's what we would get with a pure democracy but it might be just as bad if Pelosi and crew take over.
How wonderful. I will tattoo it in my brain... Will talk to my mom and my local newstand guy (who often can get me past copies of papers - or, he often has them piling up...) Have a good night.
You were right!
Innocent people go to trial every single day.
Yes, for sure, visions of Watergate still floating round in my head, but luckily for me, most folks here knew I wasn't writing about Sally Quinn's husband. And thankfully most of the time, spelling doesn't go on my permanent FR record.
Everybody will say they got off because of who they are. I think they're about proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are innocent.
And I am positive their attorneys are loaded for bear; they will be completely vindicated.
Then the civil trials will begin.
Sound of me pouting and stomping my feet.
Not fair, I want a son-in-law like that! Wait, I need a daughter. I'll find one.
I really liked hearing Coleman say that if a jury convicted these young men, the verdict would be overturned because of prosecutor misconduct. YES!
Both of my sons-in-law own restaurants, five of them between the two of them.
Needless to say, I don't cook for ANYBODY.
The good citizens of Durham County put Mike Peterson in jail, despite the histronics of himself, his family, and his attorneys.
They'll do the right thing in this case.
You have GOT to get into that trial...front seat...so that you can put your court reporter skills to work for the rest of us!
Oh, you know it; I'm going to set up a bed and breakfast right here for anybody who wants to come!
I can sleep 10 extra people in beds! We'll have a shuttle to the trial and I've got 3 computers we can all log onto at night........LOL.
Just pray it's not February 20th for about a week; we're going to St. John for my niece's wedding! I will be absolutely distraught if that happens!
