Free the Duke three!

A year ago, before charges had been brought against any of the Duke lacrosse players, I wrote “Free the Duke 46” (the Duke lacrosse team). Today ABC News reports that the charges against Reade Seligmann, David Evans and Collin Finnerty will be dismissed by the North Carolina Attorney General. At the time I predicted that Duke administrators, campus protestors, “black leaders,” the exotic dancer making the charges and the prosecutor — all of whom contributed to this miscarriage of justice — would get off scotfree. We shall see.
Paul would want me to add that the charged Duke students have raised less than one-third of the $3 million in attorneys’ fees accrued to date. Those wishing to help make up the difference can do so here.
