(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.

Well, when I drive by a car wreck I have to look at that too.
Travis was apparently on Rita Cosby propping up the DA. Did anyone see it, or hear about it?
Apparently this is par for the course. Notice the headline is "Two More..."
I have to put the buck on the D.A.'s desk. Law Enforcement follows the evidence where it leads, and if that's to nowhere, it is up to the D.A. to say there is no case.
While I see the rock and hard place the D.A. was in as concerns this case, he was "white man persona non grata" if he failed to go forward, and if he does go forward, he's at the very least an incompetent lawyer. He was damned if he did, and damned if he didn't.
In the old days, absence evidence of a crime (i.e. a corpse, a missing item, a bloody lip), just because you said something happened entitled you to a sincere, heartfelt "I'm so sorry. I wish we could do more, but we can't go forward with no evidence. It's just your word against theirs." Today, well, let's just say times have changed. Where there was no evidence of a crime, the D.A. made the decision to go forward anyway. No one these days has the courage of their convictions to say, "I'm sorry. I wish we could do more, but we can't go forward with no evidence. It's just your word against theirs."
I'm sorry you feel it's an axe to grind. If I hadn't believed it wasn't, I wouldn't have done the research around town to find out how normal it is has become. It isn't just my soapbox, I want it to stop. I apologize to all and withdraw from the threads concerning Duke with the sincere hope the boys receive justice.
I know you did, because she couldn't get along where she came from...

Travis is really wacky.
Nifong is a good man, I'm glad he's on the case.
She was drugged.
She could not walk/hip.
He can't believe she is dancing, despite the video.
She was definitely raped that night.
Oh. It's a rerun. :)
(thanks)
I'm sure most of these boys have gone to a club before and had different expectations...one of them being "not ugly". Two hours of "ugly" AND BORING. Yes, most dudes would leave a bar....but not $800 lighter.
LOL
Are you serious? At CTV? It's nothing but Rape Nazis and freaks over there.
I was there a LONG time; they don't deal in facts over there. Only agendas.
Rita lied.
She said this was the first time Travis was seen on camera for live interview.
Remember the CBS/48 hours segment?
Travis and Mary were seen on camera.
Okay, maybe it was a taped interview, but Rita is splitting peroxide hairs.
It was the same, but I don't want to take away from the boys -- it's them I want to have your attention, if you can help. I simply want people to know what's out there and not be so "secure" in their lives that they think it can't happen where they are. It can and it does. If I've put a personal face on what those kids are going through, then that's all I wanted.
When it was down the line the same crappola, I knew we were being hit with it again, different venue, different people but the same raw skanky story. Please make sure that you stay on this. My son won't get involved. He says no one cares, but I can't and won't believe that. You have to care.
They took her phone????? (Per Travis)
They had to go all the way to the store to call the Police?
LOL! They must have taken the phone after Kim called 911 to report a racial slur emergency.
DA is a good man this week. A few weeks ago, the DA could care less about Precious. Mmmm...wonder what lawyer is sitting out of camera range?
(Rita must be banging Nifong, she has gone over the top.)
She was here 3 days... 3 whole days and she had already written 15 - 20 highly abusive and derogatory remarks to a fellow freeper who'd been a member over 7 years...
And that was just the beginning. You can spin that any way you like since you're her sponsor... but I'm done on the subject...
I've been here longer than most and I know it is not customary to be abusive on these threads regardless of someone's honest opinion.. Someone should not be intimidated off their opinion... If you can't convince them nicely, them move on, ignore their post... We're adults let's please act like it..
\\rant off\\
\\ignore on\\
WTF?????
Says he has not seen his grandchildren in almost a year?????
Quick count: March, April, May, June, July, August, Sept, October.
(I do not call 7 months almost a year....Almost a year does not kick in until the 11th month.)
Wonder who has the kids, cuz Precious is a sex worker. Her hours vary.
They took Crystal's phone? Then what did she use to call her escort service at 12:26? She dropped her phone when she fell down/passed out. And Kim had her phone because she called 911 - to report racial slurs. She didn't say a word about a rape.
