EXCLUSIVE: Duke Lacrosse Player Speaks Out for First Time

EXCERPTS

When asked whether he was 100 percent sure no rape had occurred the night of the party, the player said, "Yes, ma'am." It was the first on-camera interview since the alleged rape scandal had surfaced.

The player — the first one to speak since the scandal broke — gave 26 "no comments" during the interview. Citing the ongoing investigation, he declined to discuss the alleged victim, her dance partner, and many other issues related to the night of the alleged attack.

'It Was Almost Like She Went Eenie, Meenie, Miney'

The player said the days between Nifong's announcement of a rape investigation in March and the April 17 indictment of Seligmann and Finnerty were tense and dizzying.

"I think they're shocked and upset," he said. "And I think part of that is just because there were 47 of us, and no one knew who it was going to be. It was almost like [the alleged victim] went eenie, meenie, miney, [mo] off the roster."

Asked whether he was angry, the player said, "Extremely."

The player said his teammates were "anxious" about the possibility of a third indictment.

"I just pray [Nifong] doesn't go through with it. That he's not going to indict another innocent person," he said. "Because even if it's not me, it's going to be somebody else who I care about."

Whoa.

From article subhead: "'It Was Almost Like She Went Eenie, Meenie, Miney'"

jaw on desk. I believe this subhead is supplied by the newsagency; not the player. Fascinating.

I did study up close as much as I could about the Coach. It was my understand that he was "forced" out. I think he went to the mats for his players.

From article: "When asked whether he was 100 percent sure no rape had occurred the night of the party, the player said, "Yes, ma'am." It was the first on-camera interview since the alleged rape scandal had surfaced. "

Again, as I've said earlier -- the house at 610 Buchanan is TEENY. And there were HOW many people at the house? A lot. The strippers were the show. And somehow.. no one would notice the alleged activity in the TEENY TINY BATHROOM?

No way.
