RALEIGH, N.C. -- A second round of DNA testing in the Duke University lacrosse rape case came back with the same result as the first -- no conclusive match to any member of the team, defense attorneys said Friday.
Attorney Joseph Cheshire, who represents a team captain who has not been charged, said the tests showed genetic material from a "single male source" was found on a vaginal swab taken from the accuser, but that material did not match any of the players.
"In other words, it appears this woman had sex with a male," said Cheshire, who spoke at a news conference with other defense attorneys in the case. "It also appears with certainty it wasn't a Duke lacrosse player."

BS case from the beginning.
And, start looking at charges of false police report.
How many times do I gotta say GAME OVER
All you had to do was watch Nancy Grace..she got off this fast when the guy blew the DA out of the water at the newser
I don't know who will be sued, but I think this is going to be a major deal concerning the parents of every Duke Lacrosse team member. Defamation, false accusation, police misconduct, false arrest, and on and on...
It will be fun to watch.
"Been a lot of leakin goin on" by the prosecutor, to boot.

You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.
I grew up in a place where we knew not to mess around with the girls on the other side of the tracks. Maybe those young fellows got an education.
What police misconduct? The police did nothing wrong.
just saw the presentation from one of the defense attorneys:
she had sex with SOMEONE ELSE, not on the lacrosse team?
Greta discussing this now!
who conducted the "lineup" where she was shown only photos of lacrosse players - and told "pick out who it was"?
that's not the way you operate a fair lineup, by including only persons from the pool of possible perps.
this case is over, by any reasonable standard.
but who knows with Nifong.
No, it's:
If the DNA and the timeline do not fit, you must acquit!
"There is no indication that this man should have his name dragged through the mud," he said.
Someone prominent, perhaps?
Precisely.
I knew he had nothing from the second DNA test when he arrested the cab driver.
Yep; he's had this report at least two days and his office leaked it to the press, but couldn't find time to fax it to the defense team until 5:20 p.m. today.
The lineup; harassing witnesses with arrests for things people didn't do. Going to the dorm to talk to the players when they knew they had attorneys.
Lots of stuff.
She sure did.
The only semen was NOT theirs.
The cops were told to do it that way even after the cops told the DA that it was improper. IOW, the cops were POd at the DA and intentionally let Nifong screw it up.
The cops knew the kids were innocent and the screwup on the line-up made the ID of the two players inadmissable. The cops helped to prevent the prosecution of the players.
Believe me, I have no great love for most cops; but in this case, the cops did nothing wrong. Nifong ran all aspects of the investigation, and the cops let him screw it up by himself.
OK, fair enough.
I heard the details of that lineup process, and was stunned.
