The hearing set for Feb. 5 in the Duke lacrosse case has been postponed while new prosecutors get up to speed on the case.
This morning, lawyers for three former lacrosse players met with the two prosecutors assigned to the case by the attorney general's office for about two hours.
When the meeting was over, the defense lawyers came out and said the hearing, which was to be an important test of the prosecutions case, will be postponed.
Joseph B. Cheshire V, who represents one of the players, said the prosecutors had a tremendous amount of information to review and said he was pleased with the meeting.
"We are excited to have professional prosecutors who are willing to sit down and engage us in conversation," Cheshire said. "We are excited that we are now engaged in a professional process."
