Edens: where all the action is

Apparently, Durham Police have a fetish for searching Edens Quad:

Hours after charging two Duke University lacrosse players with rape, Durham police searched a dormitory room on the Duke campus for more evidence in the case.

Investigators executed a search warrant and searched a room at the Edens 2C Residence Hall. There was no immediate word on what police hoped to recover in the search.

Since Finnerty and Seligmann both live(d) in Edens (although it’s not clear if they live in building 2C, which is where Ryan McFadyen lived), it is possible that one of their rooms was the one that was searched, and the search would require a separate warrant from their arrest. On the other hand, maybe the cops just can’t find any other dorms and keep going back to Edens…

Elsewhere, WRAL has the arrest paperwork for Finnerty and Seligmann. Interestingly, both say they were ordered sealed on April 13th, last Thursday, before the grand jury met.

Dude – check out the size of the estates those boys’ parents live in!!

The $40k to release the boys doesn’t cover their annual gardening costs.

Must be nice.

Incidentally, Zillow.com says that the craphole house the lacrosse players lived in, built in 1910, is worth $106,159. Granted, much of that is probably land value, but still…

This is an irrelevant factoid, and I have no point to make, but Edens “Quad”, in what used to be called “New Dorms”, used to be where MSNBC‘s Dan Abrams’ fraternity (Delts) was housed back when he was an undergrad.

The arrest paperwork says they live in Edens 2C, one in room 203 and one in room 301.

Ah, thanks, I blew past that part in my skim of the arrest paperwork. You’d think whoever witnessed the search (presumably they found out about this from an eyewitness, and not from the warrant) would know whether this was one of these two players’ rooms or someone else’s.

$40K? Did I not hear that one (or both) had cashiers check cut for the full 400?
