I am reminded of the Soviet Union.

How in the hell can they get away with this and who said "find me something, anything on the cab driver." Who authorized the arrest?

How long and how deep did they have to look to find this? This shows how desperate they are.

(City Manager Patrick) Baker told NBC17 he has not spoken to the officer who the Duke officer allegedly overheard, but he has spoken to the officer's superiors. The only comment they had about the Duke officer's account was that no one on the Durham police force knows the source of the accuser's initial statement about being raped by 20 men.

So, the question is, did the Durham police officer actually make that comment?

"This is one of the questions I've asked," Baker said. "I've asked questions such as, 'Why was the case changed from intoxated person to sexual assault? Who made that decision? What was the reasoning behind what made him or her make that decision?' ve asked them about 25 questions and expect them to give me all 25 questions back."

Baker said he will have the answers to those questions in time for Monday night's City Council meeting and said he would share the answers with NBC17.

Court Appearance Resheduled
Also Wednesday, a judge rescheduled the next court appearance of one of the two players charged with rape, kidnapping and sexual assault.

Collin Finnerty was set to appear with fellow defendant Reade Seligmann on May 18. Defense attorneys said in a motion that District Attorney Mike Nifong had informed them he would not be able to complete evidence discovery by next week, so Superior Court Judge Ronald L. Stephens moved Finnerty's hearing to mid-June.

Reid Seligmann's attorney, Kirk Osborn, said his client was still scheduled to appear in court next week.
