Duke Turmoil: "Someone Will be Charged"...
...at least thats what Defense Attorney Bill Thomas is saying.
A local ABC affiliate in North Carolina is reporting that a staff member at the hospital says of the victim that "She never said one thing about Duke, any athlete or anything...she just kept hollering and screaming. She never said who did it."
Meanwhile reports of threats have surfaced against the former Duke coach:
Eyewitness News has learned that an e-mail threatening former lacrosse coach Coach Mike Pressler and his wife was sent to Pressler's Duke e-mail account. University police officers also are investigating threatening phone calls made to the Duke athletic department.
[Update]
A small group of boosters and others close to the Duke University lacrosse team has hired President Clinton's former lawyer as part of an aggressive public relations effort to argue that the players did not rape a woman at an off-campus party.
Bob Bennett, a former federal prosecutor and Washington attorney who represented Clinton in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case, is serving as a spokesman for a group calling itself the Committee for Fairness to Duke Families.
