Now He Wasn't Even There?

One of the two Duke University lacrosse players arrested on charges of raping and kidnapping a 27-year-old woman at an off-campus party had been arrested in the fall for assaulting a man in Washington, D.C., and the other was not present when the alleged crime occurred, sources told ABC News.

Multiple sources told ABC News that Reade Seligmann, 20, was not present in the house at the time the alleged victim says the crime occurred. Sources say this is established through different witness accounts, as well as cell phone and credit-card records.


This quagmire is making sucking sounds.

UPDATE: The sucking is getting louder with this timeline linked description of the party photos from a local ABC affiliate. Dang.

Well, that explains why his DNA wasn't found then, doesn't it? So he must have done it if he wasn't there! A brilliant bit of police work, Mr. DA (whose name seems an awful lot like "Nagin"...).

The accuser is guilty of watching too much Nick at Nite.

itchyness?

Oh well, thanks for the fifteen seconds of f(l)ame.

I'll have to find some other way to scratch that itch. ;-)

Well the NC courts are slow, but they work in the end. Just not cheap to defend yourself.
