LOL - I just went to the 60 Minutes home page. Banner at the top of the page is, "visitnc.com" - promoting tourism in NC! Not sure why that strikes me as funny, but it does...

WRAL just ran some of the interview I haven't seen yet; Finnerty and Evans; Evans says "This woman has destroyed everything I've worked for in my life for a lie," or something very close to that.

They are very forceful! Also from WRAL:

Reade Seligmann, one of the three team members the accuser eventually identified, said it "felt like Russian Roulette."

"It could have been any single one of us," Seligmann said. "Kids were even calculating their chance ... the percentage ... that you would get picked."

Seligmann, 20, will appear Sunday on "60 Minutes" along with fellow lacrosse team members Collin Finnerty, 20, and David Evans, 23. A grand jury has indicted all three on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual offense, and defense attorneys have strongly proclaimed their innocence. The accuser, a student at nearby North Carolina Central University, told police she was raped in a bathroom by three men at a March 13 off-campus team party.

CBS released excerpts of the interviews Friday. While Evans defiantly proclaimed his innocence following his indictment in May, calling the charges "fantastic lies" while speaking to reporters outside the Durham County jail, the broadcast marks the first time Finnerty and Seligmann have spoken publicly since the rape allegations became public.

"I never expected anyone to get indicted, let alone myself," Finnerty said. "It's changed my life, no matter what happens from here on out. It's probably going to be something that defines me my whole life."
