Duke under siege, day ten: the victim ID'd the attackers!?!

Brendan Nyhan points out a Charlotte Observer story that says that the alleged victim’s father went on Rita Cosby on Monday night and claimed that she had conclusively identified all three attackers. Brendan asks why 43 other players were asked to give DNA samples, but my question’s a little more fundamental: if three guys have really been picked out by the victim, why on earth aren’t they in jail? Then again, the father could be wrong.
