Parents talk of Duke case

BY JENNIFER BARRIOS

January 15, 2007

The parents of three Duke lacrosse players accused of sexually assaulting an exotic dancer last March spoke out last night on CBS News' "60 Minutes," a day after the prosecutor stepped down from the case.

Meanwhile, the forensic expert hired by the prosecution admitted to "60 Minutes" that he should have included in his report that he found evidence of DNA from several men on the dancer - but none from the three accused men.

"Certainly, it was a big error," said Brian Meehan, who was hired by Durham County District Attorney Mike Nifong to conduct testing on the evidence.

According to a transcript of the segment provided by "60 Minutes," Meehan said he told Nifong about the evidence from the other men, but Nifong agreed that only evidence that would point to the three lacrosse players should be included in the report.

For the Record

January 15, 2007

Duke case: An article in Saturday's Section A said a second exotic dancer in the Duke University sexual assault case told police that lacrosse players shouted racial slurs during and after a team party where she and the accuser in the case performed. In fact, she said the slurs came only as she left the party. It was the accuser who told police the players used racial slurs as the two women danced.
