The biggest thing we see in player's statements is the failure to deny the crime itself by stating "I didn't do it" or "I did not rape her." However, in his October 2006 "60 Minutes" interview, Reade Seligmann stated "I did nothing wrong."
In the victim's photo line-up statement, we do not have a positive identification of her attackers even though she appears to identify some of the other men who were at the party. She changed the number of attackers from three (which is a deceptive number) to four. She also stated that years earlier she was assaulted by three men.
In her written statement, she said that she and Nicky were each grabbed by three players. She also appears to have a lot of inconsistencies in her statements to the police as to who did what.
Based on the information we have so far, the lacrosse players are showing signs of being truthful and the accuser is showing signs of deception.
On July 26, 2007, former District Attorney Mike Nifong acknowledged there is "no credible evidence" to support allegations the men attacked a stripper during a team party last year.
