Finnerty was arrested early Tuesday on charges of raping and kidnapping a stripper. Two lacrosse players arrested Third could face charges in Duke rape case BY TIM WHITMIRE The Associated Press DURHAM, N.C. - Tvvo Duke University lacrosse players were arrested on rape charges Tuesday in a scandal that has rocked one of America's elite campuses and raised explosive questions of race, class and the privileged status of college athletes. The two players - both graduates of Northern prep schools - were promptly booked and released on bail. District Attorney Mike Nifong said a third player could also be arrested but has yet to be firmly identified. "It is important that we not only bring the assailants to justice, but also that we lift the cloud of suspicion from those team members who were not involved in the assault," Nifong said. Lawyers for the two men bitterly assailed the district attorney for bringing the charges. Other attorneys for Duke's lacrosse players said the two were not even present at the time the rape is alleged to have occurred. Reade Seligmann, 20, of Essex Fells, N.J., and Collin Finnerty, 19, of Garden City, N.Y., are accused of attacking a stripper at a team party at an off-campus house on the night of March 13. They were charged with first-degree rape, sexual offense and kidnapping and were released on $400,000 bail each. The district attorney would not say what evidence led to the charges. But Seligmann's attorney, Kirk Osborn, said: "Apparently it was a photographic identification. And we all know how reliable that is." Seligmann is "absolutely innocent," Osborn said. "He's doing great." Finnerty's attorney, Bill Cotter, said: "The next jury will hear the entire story, which includes our evidence, and we're confident that these young men will be • found to be innocent." The case has raised racial tensions and heightened the long-standing town-vs.-gown antagonism between Duke students and middle class, racially mixed Durham. The accuser is black, and all but one of the 47 lacrosse team members are white. Well before the scandal, the. nationally ranked team had a reputation for a swaggering sense of entitlement and boorish frat-boy behavior that included public intoxication and public urination. After the scandal broke, the university announced an investigation into whether it put up with such behavior for too long. The case has led to the resignation of the coach and the cancellation of the rest of the season. "Many lives have been touched by this case," said Duke President Richard Brodhead in a statement. "It has brought pain and suffering to all involved, and it deeply challenges our ability to balance judgment with compassion.

The 76ers will fine Iverson and Webber for not being at the arena 90 minutes before the game against the Nets, and the duo might not make the trip to close out the season in Charlotte on Wednesday. King said he knew at TAiesday mornings shootaround that Iverson and Webber would be given the home regular-season finale off because of injuries. But King did expect the Sixers' leading scorers to be at the game. Andre Iguodala had 27 points for the Sixers, Willie Green had 14 and Steven Hunter 10. Lamond Murray scored 19 points for New Jersey, Vince Carter had 16 and Jacque Vaughn added 13 assists. Wizards 116, Bucks 103 WASHINGTON (AP) - Gilbert Arenas scored 31 of his 43 points in the second half, and Washington overcame a career-high 43 points from Michael Redd. Redd and Arenas combined for 62 points in the sec- ond half as the two catalysts dueled with playoff intensity for the chance to avoid Detroit, Miami or New Jersey in the first round. Rarely has such a fuss been made over fifth place, but no one wants to face one of the top three seeds when Cleveland, returning to the playoffs after a long absence, is an available opponent at No. 4. The victory gave the Wizards a one-game lead over Chicago and Indiana and a 1 l/2-game lead over Milwaukee.
