A hoax? A failure to speak truth to power? A journalistic breakdown? Or was that year-long academic, civic, athletic and sociological trainwreck indeed what North Carolina attorney general Roy Cooper branded a "tragic rush to accuse"? Take your pick: All kinds of labels got tossed around in the wake of Cooper's dismissal Wednesday of all charges against the accused players. And why not? For so long, the team and the events at that infamous March 13, 2006 party had been used as a vessel for so many different themes -- Racism! Power! Privilege! Sexism! -- that it's only fitting to find the endgame just as cluttered. But the fact is, with Cooper's extraordinary statement that Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and David Evans are not just "not guilty" but "innocent" of the charges of sexual assault and kidnapping, the need for such puffery dissolved. Everything in Durham got smaller. Nearly everything seemed clear.Thu, 12 Apr 2007 03:35:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/11/duke.emails/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2007/US/04/11/duke.emails/index.htmlAll charges have been dropped in the sexual assault case against three former Duke University lacrosse players due to "insufficient evidence to proceed on any of the charges," North Carolina's attorney general announced Wednesday.Wed, 11 Apr 2007 20:25:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/04/11/cooper.transcript/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/04/11/cooper.transcript/index.htmlNorth Carolina's Attorney General Roy Cooper announced Tuesday that the three former Duke University lacrosse players who faced sexual assault charges are "innocent" and the charges are being dropped.Wed, 11 Apr 2007 20:25:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/04/11/duke.cooper/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/04/11/duke.cooper/index.htmlNorth Carolina's attorney general Wednesday blasted what he called a "tragic rush to accuse and a failure to verify serious allegations" after all charges were dropped in the sexual assault case against three former Duke University lacrosse players.Wed, 11 Apr 2007 19:32:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/04/11/duke.lacrosse/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/04/11/duke.lacrosse/index.htmlFree of sexual offense and kidnapping charges, three steely-eyed former lacrosse players at Duke University called Wednesday for reforms in the justice system and restraint in the media.Wed, 11 Apr 2007 10:51:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/12/28/duke.lacrosse/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/12/28/duke.lacrosse/index.htmlThe prosecutor in the Duke University lacrosse rape case violated ethics standards in statements to the media about the case, North Carolina's bar complained Thursday.Fri, 29 Dec 2006 01:10:00 ESThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/06/08/duke.lacrosse/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/06/08/duke.lacrosse/index.htmlPolice investigating the Duke University lacrosse team on rape allegations "omitted" notes from a second dancer at the party, who told authorities the alleged victim had been drinking, was acting "crazy" and that her colleague's accusation was a "crock," a defense attorney said Thursday.Thu, 08 Jun 2006 22:19:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/05/18/duke.rape/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/05/18/duke.rape/index.htmlThe defense for one of three Duke University lacrosse players charged with raping an exotic dancer at an off-campus team party asked a judge Thursday for access to a cell phone the woman carried that night.Thu, 18 May 2006 20:25:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/05/15/duke.rapecase/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/05/15/duke.rapecase/index.htmlA co-captain of Duke University's lacrosse team was indicted Monday, the third player accused of taking part in the alleged rape of an exotic dancer at an off-campus team party.Mon, 15 May 2006 18:19:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/05/12/duke.dna/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/05/12/duke.dna/index.htmlAn attorney for a Duke University lacrosse player said the results of new DNA tests released Friday implicated none of the team members in an alleged rape.Sat, 13 May 2006 00:12:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/04/28/duke.case/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/04/28/duke.case/index.htmlPolice said Friday they did not pursue prior rape allegations by the woman at the center of the Duke University rape case because she apparently did not provide the additional details they requested.Fri, 28 Apr 2006 14:17:00 EDThttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/04/25/cnna.zook/index.htmlhttp://www.cnn.com/2006/LAW/04/25/cnna.zook/index.htmlKristal Brent Zook has probably spent more time with the family of the alleged rape victim in the Duke lacrosse case than any other reporter.
