Duke Lacrosse case

Dropped.

The office of North Carolina Attorney General Roy Cooper will announce that he is dismissing all charges against three Duke Lacrosse players, ABC News has learned from sources close to the case.

The three players, Reade Seligmann, David Evans and Collin Finnerty, were facing charges of first degree kidnapping and first degree forcible sexual offense. The charges stem from an off-campus party on the night of March 13, 2006.

I'm sure the families are relieved, but they can not gain back the many months lost to pain and suffering caused by the ridiculous charges. Hopefully Seligmann, Evans, and Finnerty can successfully put this sordid affair behind them.
