Ex-Duke Lacrosse Coach Speaks Out
Former Duke lacrosse coach Mike Pressler is speaking out about the Duke lacrosse sexual assault case. Meanwhile, Attorney General Roy Cooper was seen at the house where the scandal got started.
Posted — Updated"The evidence is coming out, daily, if not weekly. The world is seeing things that we knew early on in March," Pressler said in an interview on the Fox News show "America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer and Megyn Kelly," where he was promoting an upcoming book on the matter.
Special prosecutors James Coman and Mary Winstead have spent the time since then looking at the evidence and interviewing witnesses. Sources tell WRAL that the accuser, a 28-year-old mother of three, met with them last month. Nifong didn't question her until nine months after she made the allegations.
He has refused to comment on the investigation in the past.
"There will be a time and place to talk about that," he said during a news conference on Feb. 23. "Today is not the time and the place to talk about that."
But, responding to a question about whether he believed the case should prompt changes in the North Carolina legal system, he replied, "I just hope that Rhode Island has a heckuva lot better system than North Carolina does."
