Police said three players who live at the house where the party took place spoke with investigators and voluntarily provided samples March 16. A scheduled meeting between detectives and the rest of the team was later canceled by the players' attorney, and District Attorney Mike Nifong said Wednesday the players still refuse to speak with investigators.

Those that continue to refuse to cooperate with investigators should be charged with obstruction and of being an accessory after the fact.

Um, you have the right against self incrimination I assume? And how many headlines are we gonna get when no one is charged? Or at most, 1/12 of the team?

I see that you have suspended the Fifth Amendment. Any others with which you would like to do away?

You might oughta slow down a bit there, FRiend. So far the evidence that there is any crime for anyone to be an accessory to is pretty thin. And there seems to be a presumption of guilt on the part of some members of the Duke community. If my son was a part of this party, I'd ask him if he was part of any rape or saw any rape. If he said no and no I'd probably advise him to say nothing to anybody and let the police and the D.A. make their case. In a situation like this I'd be worried that some of these guys might get railroaded with major charges over some tiny infraction just so the University and the cops can get the PC nazis off of them.

Those that continue to refuse to cooperate with investigators are doing so on the advice of their lawyer. When in the middle of a $hit storm, one should get a good lawyer and follow his advice.

The DA's grandstanding has made this so. The players are following the advice of their attorneys. Why cooperate with a DA that is using you as a sacrificial lamb to get re-elected? The DNA will come back next week. We'll know more then.
