Pittsboro, NC - A former Superior Court judge will serve as counsel to Durham's committee investigating the Durham Police Department's role in the Duke lacrosse case.
Wade Barber, 63, is a Pittsboro lawyer who served as district attorney for Chatham and Orange counties from 1977 to 1984. Barber also served as the senior resident Superior Court Judge in Chatham and Orange counties from 1998 to 2006.
The committee will hold its first meeting at 10 a.m. Friday at Durham City Hall. Committee memberes are scheduled to hear from the lawyers of David Evans, Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty.
Committee Chairman Willis P. Whichard, a former state Supreme Court justice, said in a statement that the committee needed someone who had not dealt with the Durham bar, making Barber a good choice.
