Duke lacrosse players lawsuit #1
We checked PACER and it's true. This morning former Duke students and lacrosse players Reade Seligmann, Collin Finnerty and Dave Evans sued prosecutor Mike Nifong, the city of Durham and police detectives
in a North Carolina federal court. The complaint calls the discredited and dismissed rape charges against them “one of the most chilling episodes of premeditated police, prosecutorial and scientific misconduct in modern American history.” AP report is here. Watch next for the players suit against Duke U. itself.

NY Times reported that the 3 Duke lacrosse players had already reached a settlement with Duke University, so that suit won't be happening.

The other players and their families settled with Duke?
