Lots of rumors that the Duke lacrosse charges will be dropped tomorrow. I’ll believe it when I see it. The N&O reports that indicted player Reade Seligmann has arrived in the Triangle and that Collin Finnerty is also on the way. Is this in anticipation of an exoneration? Will the special prosecutors say explicitly that there was never any case or will they take the weasel way out and say it just couldn’t be proved? Skeptics think that Attorney General Roy Cooper, guided by gubernatorial ambitions, can’t afford to say the guys never did anything and that the accuser was lying all the time. Too many black votes at stake.

I guess we’ll know soon enough.
