Living A Nightmare: Lax players speak out
By John Taddei The Chronicle
July 20, 2006
Durham, NC (CSTV U-WIRE) -- Bo Carrington wanted to say something, anything. Surrounded on the quad in the middle of Duke's West Campus, the lacrosse player wanted to convince protesters that neither he nor any of his teammates were rapists. But Carrington, a sophomore, couldn't muster a word.
"You know what happened that night!" shouted one member of the crowd. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
They had known who he was right away--that he was one of them, even as he walked across campus without a single piece of Duke lacrosse gear adorning his formidable 6-foot-4, 220-pound frame.
Carrington began to speak up in response but the words eluded him. It was maddening, but he was speechless.
"It's awful because you want people to know the truth, you want people to know what really happened, but they don't want to hear that," Carrington explained more than three months after that day on the quad.
During those weeks in early April, Carrington and his teammates encountered pictures of themselves plastered around campus like WANTED posters. Posters that, in their minds, conveyed a predetermined judgment: guilty.
"If nobody's guilty then you can't tell them who's guilty," the junior continued.
