(01/03/07 -- DURHAM) - Duke lacrosse defendants Colin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann are both expected to be reinstated today as Duke students in good standing, two sources close to the case told ABC News. Also on abc11tv.com: Send us news tips | Desktop Alert | ABC11 AccuWeather | Pinpoint Traffic Defendant David Evans was allowed to graduate last spring, but underclassmen Seligmann and Finnerty were suspended from the University pending a resolution of the assault charges.
December 22, 2006, prosecutors dropped rape charges against the three Duke lacrosse players accused of attacking a stripper at a team party, but the three still face kidnapping and sexual offense charges.
According to court papers filed by District Attorney Mike Nifong, the accuser says she now does not know if she was penetrated during the alleged attack.
The accuser, a 28-year-old student at North Carolina Central University, has said three men raped her in a bathroom at a March 13 Duke lacrosse team party where she was hired to perform as a stripper.
The indicted players - Dave Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann - all say they are innocent, and their attorneys have consistently said no sex occurred at the party.
Evans graduated from Duke in May, the day before he was indicted. Sophomores Finnerty and Seligmann were suspended following their April 2006 indictments.
The Duke lacrosse team was also suspended from play, but was reinstated in June on a provisionary basis.
A press conference from defense attorneys is expected this afternoon.

No complaints. Feel free to send me your phone number. LOL.
If I were to be so stupid as to buy something from a porn shop—"reputable" (thanks for the laugh) or otherwise—I'll take my lumps.
Here's something else to put in that pipe of yours: Whatever 'bad' happens to me, I'll have to accept it as God's will and that it's working on me for His good purposes. See Romans 8:28 and read the book of Job.
I am done with the hijacker now..LOL

I hope that isn't a stripper pirate, or you're in trouble...LOL
Now that there lass could make me write bad checks...
OOPS - she's a stripper pirate. Yikes!!
Arrrrrr - I would follow her to Davey Jones locker.

You whoremonger you. I'm calling Nifong.
Hey now - all I did was agree to pay 40 clams for her to perform. Ok, so I peeked.
Colin's dad is on WRAL right now.
Colin's not coming back this semester.
See 270.
That's perfect.
Thnaks! I don't blame him at all!
His dad said they were very excited last night when they got the news, but later Colin said, "Dad, I just don't think I can go back to that campus until this is settled."
He's a very wise young man. I agree with him.
I don't blame him.
Sums it up beautifully.
Rush is a bonafied loser ~ knew him when he worked here at a local station ~ used to go around town with a bodyguard (yeah, hype yourself, Rush baby ~ Sactown's a dangerous place... uh huh) ~ what a joke. Anywho, your argument is not valid ~ a reputation as a rapist, which is I think what you are talking about, is only deserved if you are one.
As for me, their reputations in my book have changed dramatically. I'll be the first to admit to a certain "mindset" when I formally thought of "jocks" - but these guys have proven themselves to be made of sturdier stuff than I could ever have imagined. Throughout this, they have behaved with honor and class. I think they're great.
Nice get. Keep us posted...
That's all there was; it was a phone interview with the dad.
What I got out of it was that the family was thrilled, the boy hesitant.
Who could blame him?
