Talked to someone who knows Finnerty today after a concert - sounds like Finnerty has fast food receipts from the time that the incident is alleged to have happened which put him out of the house at the time. Also, the players are apparently claiming that the woman showed up drunk and bruised, passed out in the bathroom with the door open and these three guys came to help her out of the house. She woke up. Freaked out. Started yelling rape and they told her that it was ok she just passed out - then she ran out of the house and later called 911. Sounds like Finnerty's and Seligmann's alibis are similar, according to the abcnews.com article. KC, I'm curious, how much information sharing occurs before an indictment, if any? If alibis can be backed up by bank records, phone records, etc., should a defense attorney share this info with a prosecutor via a phone call in order to avoid an indictment for his client? Unfortunately they don't teach this sort of stuff in law school. Obviously it varies from case to case. In my experience, the prosecutors have listened to me and heard me out, but they usually haven't taken a look at any physical evidence. Of course, most of the prosecutors I've dealt with have been pretty gung ho so it didn't make much difference anyway. But I imagine there are some out there where it might give them pause to do some more investigation before going to the GJ or indicting by information. In this case, I think the DA boxed himself in to a corner very early on.

Delbarton has come out with a statement of support for its player, Seligmann. msnbc.msn.com/id/12370733/I think there might be a younger brother still at the school. The biases in these articles are getting a bit obvious: Seligmann, a 6-foot-1 sophomore, lives in a well-landscaped neighborhood about 17 miles west of New York City. His home is within 1.5 miles of three golf clubs.
A message left at the Seligmann home was not returned Tuesday. There was no answer at the two-story red brick home, which has two white columns.I live very close to Seligmann and have friends that reside in Essex Fells, NJ...This town is extremely small and everybody knows each other. I've been looked at funny on numerous occasions when on one of the towns few streets. You need money, and more than a decent amount to live in this neighborhood, and the same goes for Delbarton. He has two brothers now in the school, whose lives I'm sure has changed. On a different note, everyone I know from this secluded area had only good things to say about Reade...

www.nydailynews.com/04-20-2006/news/story/410383p-347227c.htmlHere's a story on the Wisconsin Avenue fight involving Seligmann and the unnamed (but widely known) GU player. "This was a case of some words of male bravado being shouted across the street to two guys walking home after dropping off one of their girlfriends. It was not a case ofgay bashing. That does not diminish it as incident of violence." That's a quote from the victim. Look, lacrosse players shouldn't be getting into fights on M Street. Presumably the GU player was disciplined. But don't blow this out of proportion because of what may or may not have happened in Durham.

Hilltopper 2000 -- regarding that Slate article you posted, there was a response in the messages section by someone who knew the author, from Delbarton. fray.slate.com/?id=3936&m=17299682Didn't this author, of the response, attend Georgetown? He'd have been Class of '02. Looks like he has a sister/relative on the current women's lax team who is doing well: www.thehoya.com/sports/041106/sports2.cfm
