DURHAM - District Attorney Mike Nifong plans to reinstate misdemeanor charges against a half-dozen Duke lacrosse players, saying a March 13 party where a woman reported a rape broke the deals that the players made with prosecutors.
Nifong's decision could affect players who, before the party, had entered agreements in which prosecutors would dismiss the cases if the players performed community service and stayed out of trouble for six months or a year. Among the first to have his charges reinstated was David Evans, one of the team captains who lived at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd., the site of the party in which lacrosse players hired two women from escort services to dance. One of the women told police that she was raped by three men in a bathroom.
Two players, Collin Finnerty, 19, and Reade William Seligmann, 20, were charged last week with first-degree rape, first-degree sex offense and first-degree kidnapping. Their attorneys say the men are innocent.
On Monday, an attorney for Seligmann filed a motion seeking information that would help attack the credibility of the woman, the only person, according to the defense filing, who says a rape occurred. The motion seeks information about the woman, including criminal charges, mental and emotional problems the woman has suffered as well as social services, probation, child protective services and victim's advocacy records.
Today, Finnerty is due in a Washington court where prosecutors in an assault charge are considering whether to revoke a deferred prosecution agreement similar to those affecting other players in Durham.
According to court records, 16 players were charged in the past three years with misdemeanor charges in Durham including noise violations, public urination and alcohol violations. The deals placed the men on probation for either six months or a year.

Yes....it was hard to understand....sending a car to check on the youngins....but who's kids...?
Kim could not have mentioned to the cop that CM had kids because in the last transmission he asks someone if the girl he talked to at the Kroger knew CM. I assume he's referring to Kim.
The officer states see if you can send someone to check on the youngins on Charles St. So unless Kim Roberts lives on Charles St also the youngins have to belong to the other individual.
It sounded to me like he said "send someone by st. charles to check on the children"....
Maybe hugs and kisses is trying to tell us something?????
In an interview with Megyn Kendall, the AV's father says the AV is now claiming the players used a broom on her. The panel pointed out that there was no mention of a broom in the search warrant, indicating she made no such claim to the DA.
I'm not really sure if Nifong has actually done anything or is simply threatening to do something. Here's from the Raleigh N&O:

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear.. I meant with all the time stamps being faked in relation to the pictured events..

During their 6pm cdt broadcast, FoxNews reported that David Evans (one of 3 team captains) had misdemeanor charges reinstated against him. But I've seen nothing else on this anyhere else...
Reporter from Charlotte Observer on Gretta...
Also in re to the broom: Furman brought up that there were no sodomy charges filed, as would be expected if an instrument were used.
Either that, or Jimmy is in trouble down by the old mill!
On Greta: Nifong will not being going back to the GJ in this case on Monday.
He's going to "hold off" for a few weeks.
Rita's working hard to discredit the cab driver.
I'll check tomorrow's paper and let you know if I see anything. Fox may have got it wrong and been mistaking intent for action.
Do you think there was just one set of pictures? I mean, I have to think there are more out there.
I see.....the AV changes her story once again to match the evidence....no DNA so now it's a broom...
So my question is, if this ever gets to court, can the purported rape victim be forced to account for her changing stories? In other words, are the earlier tales she's told admissible for comparison with her testimony on the stand?
Absolutely. It's called cross-examination...
