Breaking News: Accused Duke players to have charges dismissed

ABC

April 10, 2007 — The office of North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper will announce that he is dismissing all charges against three Duke Lacrosse players, ABC News has learned from sources close to the case.

The three players, Reade Seligmann, David Evans and Collin Finnerty, were facing charges of first degree kidnapping and first degree forcible sexual offense. The charges stem from an off-campus party on the night of March 13, 2006.

It will be interesting to watch the long due fall-out from this hoax. From the despicable Duke professors, to the craven DA Nifong to the so-called "rape victim" herself, they should all be held responsible for their part in stealing from the three young men whose lives have been tainted forever.

Because, make no mistake, there will be those who won't accept that the rape never happened.

Watch and see who among those that had already judged the Duke players guilty offer even the smallest confession of "I was wrong."

We'll be watching, Mandy

That's it. I'm holding my breath until Amanda Marcotte apologizes to those poor boys!

I'm hoping, praying and waiting for a group head explosion amongst that group of bloggers. The more and shriller the better. I need cheap entertainment today.

Yeah right. Hack DAs pursuing cases for all the wrong reasons are the rule, not the exception. You just happen to have heard of this one.

And you have the numbers to back up this audacious statement, yes?
