From ABC's reading of the motion:
"Osborn also filed motions seeking to reduce Seligmann's bond, now set at $400,000, to no more than $40,000; to obtain access to the accuser's cell phone records; and to order the state to save all DNA samples."
So they simply want to preserve the DNA, probably to avoid fraud and/or the possibility of some as yet unnamed person being tested. I suppose the AV's one-on-one's that night are a little nervous right now.
The cell phone records ought to be a hoot as this case continues to roll down the hill for the DA.

DURHAM, N.C. May 1, 2006 (AP)— An attorney representing one of two Duke University lacrosse players accused of rape demanded the district attorney's removal from the case Monday and accused him of using it to help his election prospects.

District Attorney Mike Nifong faces a primary election Tuesday that could decide whether he remains in office.

"They don't want to go up against me," Nifong said when asked outside court Monday about the defense request for his removal. He has denied any political motivation behind his aggressive investigation.
