Remaining Charges In Duke Non Rape Case To Be Dropped?

The long nightmare may be over for the three Duke lacrosse players who were accused of raping a woman during a party last March. The accuser was ordered to appear before the Special Prosecutor today. That should make for an interesting appearance indeed considering one has to wonder which version of events she'll refer to in her statements.

Fox is reporting the charges may be dropped shortly:

Inside Lacrosse Magazine writer Paul Caulfield told FOX News on Thursday that several sources have revealed to him that the assault and attempted kidnapping charges still pending against Collin Finnerty, 19, of Garden City, N.Y.; Dave Evans, 23, of Bethesda, Md.; and Reade Seligmann, 20, of Essex Falls, N.J., will soon be dropped.

Caulfield said his sources include more than just attorneys for the defense.

"There is no case here and they will be hearing a dismissal in the coming days," Caulfield told FOX News.

Meanwhile, KC Johnson notes the date for the hearing on Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong's conduct has been set. June 12. He also comments on Nifong's ongoing fight with the State Bar and the absurdities of some of Nifong's arguments in defending his indefensible actions and prosecutorial abuses in this case.
