FINALLY. Charges Dropped Against Duke Lacrosse Players

Three white Duke lacrosse players: Reade Seligmann, David Evans & Collin Finnerty, were accused of sexually assaulting a black stripper at an off campus party last year.

“Based on the significant inconsistencies between the evidence and the various accounts given by the accusing witness, we believe these three individuals are innocent of these charges,” Cooper said. He said the charges resulted from a “tragic rush to accuse and a failure to verify serious allegations.”

Daily Dish hipster Ben Widdicombe reports today that Common will be performing at Duke University's Last Day of Classes Concert on April 25.

Problem? The hypocrite took time during a concert last year to say this:

"F— them damn n—s from Duke lacrosse," he freestyled, and a concertgoer claims he later added, "I really believe in my heart that those boys in Duke lacrosse did it — that they raped a black princess."
What an ass. He's ready to collect a paycheck from those same n-s isn't he?!!?!!
