I have no proof that the more serious crime(s) that have been alleged did in fact take place.

However, some of the players did admit to underage drinking, so, in actuality, a crime did occur.

I would expect that if a serious crime took place, witnesses would and should reveal all they know. If no serious crime took place and one was present at the time of the alleged incident, by the same token, reveal all they know and not simply clam up.

The DA has said that if he doesn't start getting cooperation, some may be charged with aiding and abetting.

Duke should tell the players (witnesses) to cooperate fully or they will be in danger of losing any scholarships and may be subject to expulsion from the University.......regardless of whether a crime took place or not.

Oh, my! Lets hang'em!

"The DA has said that if he doesn't start getting cooperation, some may be charged with aiding and abetting."

So put up or shut up. Charge away asshole. That's why these guys have lawyers.

"Duke should tell the players (witnesses) to cooperate fully or they will be in danger of losing any scholarships and may be subject to expulsion from the University.......regardless of whether a crime took place or not."

Yea, cause your under scholarship you forfeit your constitutional rights.

Look, if someone witnessed a crime then I'm the first one to say come forward. But...no crime has been charged and no one has been indicted and if there is a crime then charge them and prove it in court. And...Do you know any strippers? Well I do. And they're all (all I have ever known) professional con artists. Nothing personal, just an observation.

So you have a stripper, accusing college students, of rape. That's a terrible accusation. And a terrible crime. And I'll 99.8% bet you when all the facts come out this never goes to court. But the whole team and Duke can never get their reputation back.
