Better Late Than Never
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Duke University has invited two of the lacrosse players accused of sexual assault to return to school as students in good standing, a defense attorney said Wednesday.
Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann had been barred from attending class during the fall semester while their case made its way through court. The third player charged in the case, Dave Evans, graduated in May, the day before he was charged with raping a stripper at a team party in March.
Small rant from the former public defender. Innocent until proven guilty, folks. The loss of a semester in their educations is still nothing compared to the damage to their reputations and the financial costs of their still pending legal defense, but I’m glad to see Duke is finally doing the right thing by their students.
