This can't be right. Abb did you hack into the N&O's website?
I'll believe it when the paper arrives!
I don't think you went fishing. I envision you in the Mission Impossible position floating above the servers at the News and Observer.
Good Job!
Wasn't me. And I didn't even catch any fish yesterday...
Ruh-ro! Durham, we have a problem!
Finnerty is 6'4 (at least) and 175 lbs, yet he's called
Short and Chubby.
The AV says Matt is 270 pounds; From the published roster (published before the allegations), the Heaviest player on the team is 225 pounds - and he's Six foot Six, 6'6" !
The shortest player on the team is 5'8' and he's 160 pounds.
I will make it my personal mission to find these Short, Fat lacrosse players - if it's the last thing I do.
From the N&O:
"The woman described each of the men, according to Himan's handwritten notes.
Adam: "white male, short, red cheeks fluffy hair chubby face, brn"
Matt: "Heavy set short haircut 260-270"
Brett: "Chubby"
That evening, two officers -- Michelle Soucie and Richard Clayton -- showed the accuser photos of lacrosse players taken from the goduke.com Web site, according to notes taken by both officers.
The police had organized 24 photos into four sets of six photos each. The sets were labeled A, B, C and D. The police had put one named suspect in each group: Matt in A, Adam in B, Bret in C and a second Matt in D.
After each photo, the police asked: Is this the person who sexually assaulted you?
She did not identify any assailants. She did not recognize any of the players named Adam, Matt or Brett. She picked out four men with 100 percent certainty as being at the party, and one player, Seligmann, with 70 percent certainty as being at the party. She could not remember exactly where she saw each person at the party.
"This is harder than I thought," she said, according to Soucie's notes.
Five days later, the accuser showed up at the police station with her driver, Jarriel Johnson of Raleigh. She met with Himan and Clayton.
"I asked her questions trying to follow up on a better description of the suspects," Himan wrote in his notes. "She was unable to remember anything further about the suspects."
Police showed the accuser two more sets of photos, 12 players in all.
"She could not identify any of the pictures in the photo array," Clayton wrote in his notes. "She again stated the photos looked the same."
Police had shown the accuser photos of 36 of the 46 white lacrosse players. She had not identified anyone as her assailant.
Two days later, the district attorney's office asked a judge to order all 46 white players to sit for mug shots (for current hair styles and complexion), upper torso photographs (for evidence of scratches from the accuser) and mouth swabbings (for DNA testing).
The request -- searching a pool of 46 people for 3 suspects -- was unusual. To obtain the DNA and photos, the law requires reasonable grounds to suspect that the person named had committed the crime. By definition, 43 of the named people had not."
