Two Duke lacrosse players charged with rape

Tuesday, April 18, 2006; Posted: 8:38 a.m. EDT (12:38 GMT)

DURHAM, North Carolina (CNN) -- Two members of the Duke University lacrosse team were arrested and charged early Tuesday in connection with rape allegations leveled by a woman hired as a dancer at a team party, jail officials said.

Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty, both 20-year-old sophomores, have been charged with first-degree rape, first-degree forcible rape and kidnapping, the officials said. Bond was set for $400,000 for each man.
Deputies brought Seligmann and Finnerty to Durham County jail just before 5 a.m. ET.

Seligmann posted bond and left the jail, but Finnerty, who has been processed, has not done so yet. (Watch CNN's Jeffrey Toobin explain the legal options -- 2:15)

The News & Observer identified Seligmann as a student from Essex Falls, New Jersey, and Finnerty as a student from Garden City, New York.

A grand jury returned sealed indictments againstthe two Monday. Sealed indictments often are used when authorities believe the person charged is a flight risk.

Kirk Osborn, one of Seligmann's attorneys, said lawyers arranged the surrender of the two men early Tuesday.

"It's hard to put in words the unfairness and injustice," Osborn said. "We look forward [to] showing he is absolutely innocent as soon as we can."

A 27-year-old student at North Carolina Central University told police three men raped and beat her March 13 at an off-campus partythrown by Duke lacrosse players.

She and another woman were hired to perform as dancers there. The case has inflamed racial and economic divisions in Durham, which is home to both the accuser's historically black public university and the elite Duke. She is African-American; the accused are white.

The allegations have resulted in the cancellation of the lacrosse season, the resignation of the team's coach, Mike Pressler, and public scrutiny of what Duke President Richard Brodhead called the "history of boorish behavior and underage drinking" among players.

Court documents filed in the case have said a medical examination of the accuser showed signs consistent with sexual assault. DNA samples from the players failed to match material collected by investigators, defense attorneys hired by some of the players said last week.

The defense lawyers also said photos taken at the party show the woman was injured before she arrived.

Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty.....If I had to make up phony names that sounded like they would be Duke lacrosse players, I don't think I could have done better

I just tried the new Gillette Fusion over the past week. Got a trial for it in the mail with two blades. Not bad at all. I still find the old Gillette Sensor Excel still works best.

Fusion is best razor i have yet to use.

I've seen the kind of protection they use when dealing with that plane and things/people around it first hand. If that is real, the dude is insane, and probably doesn't realize how close he came to getting killed.

Good stuff.  :yay

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.
