This is cheap talk, but defense attorneys are claiming the two players have an alibi:
Bill Thomas, a lawyer for a player who has not been charged, said that one of the two men under indictment did not even attend the party. He would [not] specify which one, saying only that “multiple witnesses and a commercial transaction” would provide an alibi.
According to a filing made by the district attorney’s office, the residents of the house where the party took place told police that Seligmann was one of six players who did not attend the party.
Another attorney, Robert Ekstrand, who represents dozens of players, said neither Seligmann nor Finnerty was at the party “at the relevant time.”
Here’s more on the alleged alibi via Chris Lawrence:
Sources close to the investigation said Tuesday that the defense will present evidence — including ATM receipts — that neither Seligmann, 20, nor Finnerty, 19, were at the team party at the time the alleged rape took place.
A cab driver allegedly carried one of the young men to an ATM, where a security camera captured his picture, the sources said, and the other man was reportedly at a restaurant.
Here’s yet another report:
A source close to the case told FOX News that there are credit card receipts, ATM receipts and/or taxi cab receipts that may establish that one or both of the accused players were not at the off-campus Durham house in which the alleged rape took place at the time of the alleged attack.
