CBS News correspondent Trish Regan reports that defense sources say Finnerty was eating at a Mexican restaurant when the alleged rape is said to have occurred. And they say Seligmann may not have been in the house during most of the time the alleged rape was carried out.
According to a neighbor's testimony, the stripper arrived at the house around 11:50 p.m., although the prosecution may argue she arrived earlier.
The defense says it has time-stamped photos of the stripper. The first was taken at midnight, followed by a series of pictures over the next four minutes that show her and Roberts.
There is a time gap in the photos of the alleged victim between 12:03:57 and 12:30:12, when she's seen at the back entrance of the house and appears to be leaving. A neighbor said he believes he saw her in the front yard sometime between 12:20 and 12:30.
Based on the time-stamps, there is a 16- to 26-minute window in which she could have been assaulted. But, during most of that time, Seligmann may not have been in the house.
Sources for the defense tell CBS News that cell phone records show Seligmann made calls at 12:07, 12:09 and 12:11. At 12:14, he called a cab to pick him up. Driver Moez Mostafar says he got that call and showed CBS News his dispatch records to prove it. He says he picked up Seligmann at 12:19.
"He looked normal, nothing looked unusual to me," Mostafar said. "He asked me to go to Wachovia Bank where he can get some money.

I saw him; he had a few "facts" wrong.
Chilling Mob Beat Caught On Tape
If the MSM can report about this story without mentioning race, why can't they do the same in the Duke lacrosse case?
Post the picture, Kran.
Well, she didn't say the tall, skinny one...she said little. But maybe it won't matter if he has proof that he wasn't there.
It will be interesting to see who she called on the cell phone at that time, smiling, after allegedly being brutally raped.
Possibly Very important- her stripper outfit. If they have earlier pics of her in this outfit, they can compare it to later pics to see if she is wearing it any differently. Also- Notice the garter straps seem to be attached in the first pic. Would she actually re-attach her garter straps after being brutally raped?
thanks kat, I have those... I'm trying to find out where in the sequence she was talking on the phone and how long she was left lying on the ground after she appears to be falling... I think I know, I just want to verify with a link from someone that's seen them...
Before I answer that can you refresh my memory by informing me of just what items the police retrieved of the complaining witness from the lacrosse players bathroom.
I'm not sure, but garter snaps weren't among them
I think the only thing for sure that was claimed to be in the bathroom were the red fingernails. The rest of the stuff....cellphone, ID, make-up bag and money were always listed as in the residence.
Well what is that in her hand in pics 1 and 2. Do she reenter the residence after those pics were taken?
He doesn't look skinny to me!
I think the assumption is that when she fell, she dropped those items. At some point, after she left with Kim, they were found and put in the house.
LOL..........you are so right, I would have remembered that!
No! They had her locked out! She fell down the steps, dropped all that stuff, and after she was gone, somebody put it in the house.
You know, a rapist trying to hide the evidence of his crime. NOT!
