Carefully Sorting Legal Chaos Out, With Duke Case as Unlikely Guide
After a night of heavy drinking just before Christmas break, three linemen on the North Carolina football team called 911 from an off-campus apartment. They were drunk, half-naked and bound at the wrists and ankles. The call led to charges of kidnapping, robbery and sexual molestation. Prosecutors describe the players, who all stand at least 6 feet tall and weigh 275 pounds, as the victims of two women and a naked man with a kitchen knife. (New York Times)
