N.C. officials say lax case, charges still under review

Contrary to several reports, no decision has been made to drop the remaining charges against indicted former men's lacrosse players David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, a spokesperson for the North Carolina Attorney General's office said Thursday.

"Our review of the case, including reviewing documents and conducting interviews, is still under way," Noelle Talley told The Durham Herald-Sun.

The announcement came a day after Justin Paul Caulfield, a writer for Inside Lacrosse Magazine, told Foxnews.com that charges would be dropped within "the next few days."

Parents of the indicted players told The Chronicle Thursday that the remaining charges were likely to be dropped, but were unsure of when the case would end.

Within the next few weeks, special prosecutors Jim Coman and Mary Winstead are expected to conclude their investigation and decide whether to proceed to trial or drop charges, Talley said.

Coman and Winstead were appointed in January to take over the case.
