One of the two Duke University lacrosse players arrested on charges of raping and kidnapping a 27-year-old woman at an off-campus party had been arrested in the fall for assaulting a man in Washington, D.C., and the other was not present when the alleged crime occurred, sources told ABC News.

Multiple sources told ABC News that Reade Seligmann, 20, was not present in the house at the time the alleged victim says the crime occurred. Sources say this is established through different witness accounts, as well as cell phone and credit-card records.

Just a thought. I'm sure the woman's lawyers had access to any run ins with the law these guys may have had. She picks one with an arrest for assault. Seems like a good choice if you don't know who to pick.

If the story about the other alleged perp not being there doesn't hit the headlines, I don't think twice about her ID. But now that there's a question about one, I'm questioning the validity of the other ID. I think, absent DNA, a jury may question it too.

I'd like to see the size of the bathroom.

And there are still people on this forum, all over the media who use the baloney of the seriousness of the charge is more important than the nature of the evidence line.

Was writing as the other posts were made ... just to clarify, I am not addressing any of you others here on this thread with my comment above.

You mean like maybe he didn't do it?

"and the other was not present when the alleged crime occurred, sources told ABC News."

Dan Abrams is reporting that there is also security camera footage from the ATM.....

My understanding is that is very, very small ... doubtful that four people could have been in there, gang rape in progress.

and the other was not present when the alleged crime occurred

And his DNA wasn't there either.

Quite a coincidence, hmmm...?

Can we maybe call this a DA, WHOOPS.

Looks like Nifong picked a real winner for his showboating and grandstanding.

What a dope.

LOL: 37 guys drinking beer. I hope they marked the beer cans they filled with other fluids.

It doesn't matter. What matters is that he COULD HAVE raped her.

Santa Claus could have raped her, but he's got an alibi too.

Well darn, now she'll have to pick another.

These two were #4 and #5, weren't they? She had previously named 3 others. Well, there are some 40 to pick from.

It was interesting that the officials took DNA from all the white guys on the Lacrosse team, but they excluded the 1 Black guy.

Someone tell me when I left America?

You didn't leave.....evil (liberals and the MSM) just caught up with you, that's all.....

She can browse the fathers' credit reports.

When will the defense get info on her background ? Run ins , other incidents like this maybe. Maybe other rape claims ? Just askin.

The prosecutor is up for reelection. He is in a no-win scenario. If he doesn't prosecute, the black community marches and chants and throws him out of office. If he does prosecute, his flimsy case looks like pandering and he loses all the credibility in the world. Wouldn't want to be him....... no sir.......
