No one – not one person – from the team lied to police or any other authorities when questioned about this case.

A year after their athletic lives were held in limbo, the Duke University lacrosse players put together a memorable season and in the NCAA Division I championship game on Memorial Day, the Duke Blue Devils lost a hard-fought and very close game to Johns Hopkins, 12–11. I have read more than one article that claims that this season was a season of “vindication and redemption” for the team; I respectfully disagree.
The idea of “vindication and redemption” stems from the fact that a year ago, this team was vilified, accused of gang-raping a black stripper, and three members of the team were indicted for rape, kidnapping, and sexual assault. The set of charges was a lie, but nonetheless, the team was attacked in the press and called all sorts of things that border on indecent.
