Exclusive: Duke Lacrosse Grand Jurors Speak Out
By CHRIS CUOMO and LARA SETRAKIAN, Law & Justice Unit
Feb. 6, 2007 — In the spring, a grand jury in Durham, N.C., indicted three Duke University lacrosse players on charges of rape, sexual offense and kidnapping of an exotic dancer.
Now, for the first time, members of that grand jury have broken their silence.
In an exclusive interview with ABC's "Good Morning America," two jurors described how they felt about the twists and turns that had rocked the case in the more than 10 months since a fateful lacrosse team party in March 2006.
Fearing reprisals, the two grand jury members chose to remain anonymous, asking that their faces not be shown and their names be withheld, given the controversial and high-profile nature of the case and because they are legally constrained from discussing details of what happened in the grand jury room.
They discussed what had happened since the indictments.
When asked whether he would have made the same decision today to indict lacrosse players Collin Finnerty, Reade Seligmann and David Evans, the first grand juror said he had second thoughts.
"Knowing what I know now and all that's been broadcast on the news and in media, I think I would have definitely … made a different decision," he said to ABC News.

According to court documents, the only witnesses to testify and present evidence to the jury were Sgt. Mark Gottlieb and investigator Benjamin Himan, both with the Durham Police Department.
