Just like they had Crystal's Criminal record and they sat on it for two weeks.. You know the N&O and DurhamHerald had this info for some time.

The News&Observer will print it tommorow on page 9 of the sports section.

Herald-Sun doing best to poke holes in alibis:

Lacrosse players' alibis not 'foolproof'

DURHAM -- They contend they have alibis, and SBI tests show their DNA didn't match any found on an exotic dancer.

But two Duke lacrosse players may have an uphill battle against allegations that they raped the woman last month at an off-campus party.

That was the assessment Thursday of Willis Whichard, dean of Campbell University Law School and a former N.C. Supreme Court justice.

Whichard said Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong "has got to have something" or he wouldn't have obtained indictments this week against the two players: Reade Seligmann, 20, of Essex Fells, N.J., and Collin Finnerty, 19, of Garden City, N.Y.

He also said, the alibis are not "foolproof evidence."

Defense lawyers say there is documentation to prove that Seligmann made cell phone calls beginning at 12:07 a.m. March 14, that he was picked up by a cab at 12:19 a.m. and that he was at a Ninth Street Wachovia ATM at 12:24 a.m., where he was photographed by a security camera.

The lawyers, citing pictures they say were taken by an unidentified student at the house party, contend the only plausible time for the alleged rape was between 12:10 and 12:30 a.m. Police and prosecutors, however, have not publicly pinpointed the time of the alleged attack.

Finnerty contends he was at a Mexican restaurant near Ninth Street, several blocks from 610 N. Buchanan Blvd., where the party and alleged rape occurred.


(snip)

Former Durham Public Defender Bob Brown said Thursday that prosecutors might be in trouble if they don't have stronger evidence than that revealed so far.

"I believe the DA has got to have something better than this woman's identification," he said. "He better have something other than her identification. But if he had it, I suppose he would have had somebody arrested immediately instead of waiting until this week."
