RALEIGH, N.C. — Nearly a year after calling the rape accusations he and two Duke lacrosse teammates faced nothing but "fantastic lies," David Evans again stood before the cameras and proclaimed his innocence.

This time, there was no room for doubt.

A few hours earlier, North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper hadn't just dismissed all the remaining criminal charges against Evans, Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty. He took the extra step of declaring the players innocent — the victims of a "tragic rush to accuse" by a rogue prosecutor who could be disbarred for his actions.

Yes, that is good news. But....
Their lives are basically screwed up. They'll be haunted by this for a LOONNNGGGG time.(no matter how loud their cries of Innocence are!)

One lost a good job on Wall Street.( he had graduated before the charges were filed I believe)

The others were booted from Duke, and while they've been offered their places there back- I doubt seriously they'll return.

One had to settle for asst. coaching at his old H.S. Not a bad job ( better than slinging fries!) but surely not what he'd hoped as a student at a college like Duke!

( I believe the third is at another, less prestigeous college.)

And what- pray tell- happened to that woman? Has anyone said anything about what price She's paid for her hand in this? We probably will never know. Having said all that- I hope she get's what is coming to her.

And as for that "gung-ho" attorney....
Karma is a bitch :evil:

I have always been raised on the fact that things happen, good and bad, for a reason.
These trials and tribulations happen for a reason.
These men will overcome, and, will prosper because they have great parents that didn't doubt them for a second.
Everything and everyone has a purpose.
As for that NAPPY HEADED HO'~lol~{I'm sorry Lord, please forgive me..} :oops:
It's sad that this is not over. Maybe she can get some help. :roll:
