One of the defendants in the Duke lacrosse case is part of a new lacrosse team.

Collin Finnerty is an assistant coach for the Chaminade High's varsity team in Long Island, New York.

Finnerty started the volunteer job at his alma mater a few weeks ago.

Finnerty, Reade Seligmann, and David Evans still face sexual assault and kidnapping charges in connection with an off-campus party last March.

I think everybody forgot that this is the same man that beat up a gay fellow. Hope none of the high school students are gay.

Without reference to the trial and the proceeding and outcome,let's just hope the man is truly innocent of the accusations. Now he's in a position of trust of high schoolers!

why do you folks keep saying these boys lives are ruined when Seiligmann announced on national tv that the only person that can ruin his life is self, according to him, that hasn't happened. As far as calling the accuser trash, what about the ones who gave that infamous, trashy lacrosse party? That says a lot about class

GOOD for him! He's showing some real gumption here! Maybe they will put Mr Finnerty on full time after the NC Atty Gen throws this case out.

BEACHGIRL: I agree with you 100%. For anyone who meets the race requirement to be part of the NAACP, if the person is being accused or if the person is doing the accusing, it always is a racial issue. No matter what the crime may be, its always racist. It seems in the majority of cases when the NAACP gets involved (let me rephrase that, they never get involved, they just do a lot of crying and making up of excuses) they always get proven wrong. So why even have an "orginazation" (If you can call it that) that's always wrong?
