(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.

You may, or may not, be aware, but any educational institution has the right to insist the students in its care make written statements that may turn out to be not in the student's best interests. David Evans admits he cooperated with the officers, as we have all taught our children to respect authority. You can see the result. Your children MUST be instructed to make no statements and INSIST that their parents be contacted.
Still believe in fairy tales, huh? I used to, too.
About Krankor............ In my opinion, best to ignore him. He's trying to antagonize. Just a suggestion. Maybe he'll go away. He's not a Duke case regular.
:>
He didn't ask for a bench trial. There is no right to a jury trial for a misdemeanor. He couldn't have asked for a jury trial if he wanted one.
It shows.
And lest Sue be misunderstood, it shows in not a positive way.
No institution has a right to tell a young person not to tell his parents about anything.
Probably more like "Night Court."
Wanna' bet? I'll take your money -- God knows after what they did to us, we need it. They do so with impunity every single day. Talk to the people who have to figure out what to do with the kids who've been booted out of school? Even our attorney said the law is very grey in that area. He mumbled something about custodial rights. Sounds like a violation of civil rights to me, but what the heck do I know.
I didn't read the fine print, I thought you got due process with your membership in this country -- unless you're under 18 or still in school. Read the fine print -- our system is broken.
And let's not forget that the ONLY reason he was back in that court was because of Nifong's bogus indictment.
Good catch!
There's a couple around here who seem to be "practicing law without a license" or any knowledge of just how the judicial system REALLY works.
You are correct as to the facts of this case. My comment was about the life changing effects for the subject of any false rape accusation. I think we can all agree that the Duke case is an aberration of the CJS.
(At least I hope it is!)
Let me go on to say, your children must be instructed to insist on it. The administrators won't volunteer it, but you child can INSIST on their parents being called. TELL YOUR CHILDREN, WARN THEM that not every adult is interested in their welfare -- just like strangers -- be very careful.
Precisely.
I always thought the same thing and taught my son that; UNTIL I became a court reporter.
Now I tell EVERYBODY not to say a word until you have legal representation.
And I do mean even in car accidents!
Actually, there are a few here with their personal axes to grind who insist it is the norm.
LOL!
UBUNTU!
I am whole again!!!!
Learn the difference between not listening and not agreeing.
