Thu Oct 12 2006 12:34:11 ET
In an interview set to run Sunday night, 60 MINUTES' Ed Bradley talks with the other exotic dancer caught up in the alleged Duke Lacrosse tape:
"In the police statement, [accuser] describes the rape in this way: Ê'Three guys grabbed Nikki,' 'That's you,' says Bradley, "'Brett, Adam and Matt grabbed me. They separated us at the master bedroom door while we tried to hold on to each other. Bret, Adam and Matt took me into the bathroom.' Were you holding on to each other? Were you pulled apart?" Ê
"Nope," replies Roberts, who says she was hearing this account for the first time.

Ed Bradley Also Speaks To The Other Dancer

(CBS) The three Duke lacrosse players indicted for a rape they say they didn't commit are indignant over the effect the charges are having on their lives and their families.
In their first interviews, they speak to Ed Bradley this Sunday, Oct. 15, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
"Your whole life, you try to, you know, stay on the right path, and to do the right things," says Reade Seligmann. "And someone can come along and take it all away, just by going like that," he says, pointing his finger. "Just by pointing their finger. That's all it takes."
Seligmann says he has an alibi bolstered by photographic and electronic evidence. He says neither investigators from the prosecutor's office nor police have questioned him about the night of the alleged crime since he was picked out of a line-up by the accuser, an exotic dancer performing at a lacrosse team party where she says the rape occurred.
"[The police line-up] felt like Russian Roulette. It could have been any single one of us. Kids were even calculating their chances…the percentage…that you would get picked," Seligmann recalls. Then he was indicted. "To see my face on TV, and that, you know, in those little mug shots, and above it saying, you know, 'Alleged rapists.' You don't know what that does to me and to my family and to the people that care about me," he says.
"This woman has destroyed everything I worked for in my life," says David Evans, a team captain who graduated last spring. "She's put it on hold. She's destroyed two other families and she's brought shame on a great university. Worst of all, she's split apart a community and a nation on facts that just didn't happen and a lie that should have never been told," Evans tells Bradley.
The third player indicted, Collin Finnerty, never saw the indictment coming but says it will follow him forever. "I never expected anyone to get indicted, let alone myself. It's changed my life, no matter what happens from here on out. It's probably going to be something that defines me my whole life," Finnerty tells Bradley.

Rape accusations, internet threats... the more one reads about this the junk the more one gets thoroughly digsuted with the way things are. I have to take regular times of leave to prevent myself from just going nutty and never leaving the blog. If I would not, then I would just be blogging about all the rediculous stuff the lefties come up with.
Lots of folks really don't understand the twisted thinking, or perhaps the lack there of of the left's movement. This poor defenseless little school. Oh boohoo, I say toss her in a cell for such an act. The accusers of the rape, Toss them away for making such allegations. They are al nuts inmy view and need to treated as such.
As for the leftists in S.A., many have deep loathing for the islamics and this is evident, at least in my neck of the woods. Most are not blind to the danger, and they have a deep conviction thanks to the Catholic church. This will help in the prevention of the spread of islam here. At least in the average joe's neighborhood. The government pricks, well that's a whole other story. They still need a cranial-rectumotomy.
