FOX News has learned from defense attorneys that the player expected to be charged plans to surrender himself and post bond immediately once an indictment does come down. He and his family plan to make a formal press statement in front of the Durham county jail once he is formally charged. The player's lawyer, as well as five to 10 other Duke lacrosse players, will accompany him before the cameras in a showing of solidarity.

I love it. I hope they come out raging.

From the Fox News article: According to the Raleigh News & Observer, Evans, along with Matt Zash and Dan Flannery, are the only players known to have talked to police after the stripper reported she was sodomized and sexually assaulted.

This is exactly why I said from the beginning that, even if you are innocent, you should not talk to the cops. Nothing good can come from doing so. Cops/prosecutors will twist, misconstrue, and lie about what you said to them if is serves their purpose. You don't talk to them and there is nothing to twist,misconstrue or lie about.

It is also why you do not submit to requests for DNA if you are innocent. If you are innocent, there is no reason to submit to such a test without a search warrant. If one is issued, you move to quash it. Screw the public perception of refusing to 'cooperate'. you simply say there is nothing to cooperate with because you did not commit a crime and didn't see a crime committed. END OF STORY!!!!

If these three had not talked to the cops, they likely would not be indicted. If the rape/sexual assault charges are dropped, don't be surprised if Nifong goes after them for making false statements to a cop. If you don't talk, you can't make a 'false statement'.

If Libby had refused to 'cooperate' with Fitzpatrick, he would not have been indicted.Libby had no legal duty to discuss anything with Fitzpatrick. Should have simply told Fitzpatrick he didn't do anything illegal and wish him well in getting an indictment.

He who has ears, let him hear.
