I wonder if Finnerty has completed any/all of the 25 hrs. of community service. If so, that would help him. If months have passed and he's avoided the service requirement, then he may be up the creek.
Duke stripper frantic, kin say

The stripper who charges she was raped by Duke University lacrosse players is so traumatized she sometimes screams at the sight of white men in the street, a new report says.
The accuser is staying with friends and only occasionally calls relatives, amid threats from Duke supporters and white supremacists, Essence magazine reported.
"I know she feels alone," the woman's ex-husband told Essence. "She doesn't know who to trust. That's why she's running."
Meanwhile, a lawyer for one of two Duke lacrosse players charged in the rape demanded that prosecutors turn over the accuser's medical, legal and education records for use in attacking her credibility.
When the woman does call family members, she sounds frightened and refuses to let them contact her, relatives said.
"Nobody has seen her. She needs some help," the woman's aunt told the magazine. "That girl needs some professional help."

She has considered dropping the charges, especially after DNA tests failed to implicate any of the white players, but her family urged her to stay the course.
Her mom met over the weekend with noted civil rights lawyer Willie Gary, but he has not been formally asked to get involved in the case.

The DC Feds need to take a step back and give him a chance to prove that he has been falsely accused, and agree to a continuance of the case until after the Durham charges are resolved. For goodness sake, the case in DC is a friggin misdemeanor and with the workload of the Federal Courts you would think they could put it on a back burner and concentrate on the serious cases confronting them!
