, N.C. — New DNA evidence may link a Duke University lacrosse player to an exotic dancer who claims she was raped in the team's house, a Durham newspaper reported Wednesday.

Citing "several well-placed sources," The Herald Sun of Durham, N.C., reported that tissue collected from under the alleged victim's fingernail might match a player who was at the team party where the attack supposedly occurred.

Try "hallucinations". There have been such reports. I personally know of one. Might take you some time to dig through and get a detail on that, but GHB looks like the drug of choice here.

Wonder if she was the only one to get hit?

Excellent....From what I read, that would EXCLUDE the boys. Not only that, I thought it was found in the basket and it was probably contaminated to start with.

Doesn't it make sense to you that they would have found HER body fluids on the rug or bathroom floor?? Rape doesn't stop the physical process. Never mind THEIR DNA, where's HER DNA.

Actually, I was among the first folks to sign up to FreeRepublic when it went public. 1996 is kind of what I recall as the "big year". They reregistered everybody in 1998. Lost several thousand posts at that time.

Folks who think I'm a troll should be watched closely.

BTW, I didn't "misrepresent" anything. I gave you a reference that gives you 220,000 URLs to check through.

Use your head a moment ~ we are talking about "date rape drug" and a common element in many of the first hundred or so references there (which I have read recently) are the terms "rape", "hallucination", "drug", and so forth. Now, try to find something on the order of "hallucinations may include the feeling that one has been raped", or any variation on that theme.

It's doggone near impossible.

However, the difficulty inherent in doing any particular search on Google.com DOES NOT MEAN that I have misrepresented anything.

And no, I will not give you the victim's name.

Howlin, please bother reading some of the better sources. GHB takes from 12 minutes to 2 hours (depending on dose and target).

BTW, the news this morning (on FOX) was the DNA was sampled in a "tissue fragment" of microscopic size found on one of the fingernails.

On Nancy Grace right now, they are saying it is LESS than 13.

1. Did that seem like reliable information?
2. Was the point made that it fell below the standard of evidence?
3. What did Nancy have to say about it? (as if I couldn't guess)

I see we have the usual suspects who just can't get over the fact that stripper's lie. LOL

Interesting that the stripper/hooker's statement, posted on FR last night, didn't include any mention of a broomstick. And I think she was asked specifically if any kind of item was used.

The DA seems to have dropped the broomstick theory which is only smart since the stripper's tory changes so constantly. Nifong is going to have a difficult time moving that timeline around too, to suit the stripper's ever changing story.

And let's not forget, a stripper claims she's gang raped and then tries to get back in the house to retrieve her shoe? Riiiight. A woman would only go back into that house to get her kid, not her shoe.

And of course, there's the smile she has plastered on her face as she's leaving the house.

Nifong is in big trouble.

actually white athletes are more prominent today, than in the last 20 years, even in basketball, the MVP for the NBA for the last 2 years has been white as well as this years for the NCAA and the runner-up as well.

And let's not forget the number one pick in the NBA draft (Bogut); the Sixth Man Award in the NBA (Miller); NFL Defensive Player of the year for 2005 (Uhrlacker); the Biletnikoff award winner in the NCAA (Mike Hass who no pro team bothered to pick until the seventh round although he led the nation in receiving while playing in the same conference as Reggie Bush!); the Butkus Award winner for best defensive player in the NCAA (Posluszny).....but who's counting.

Apparently you have not been following the case as closely as most of us have, or you would not be saying what you have been. Get the facts! You will be amazed!

Keyword....Duke!

Age does not determine intelligence or common sense! ....and I'm probably your age or older.

You might not be, but you just act like one, that's all.

"I am sure that I have DNA on me from shaking hands with a co-worker this morning. Did I rape him?"

If you live in Durham, NC, you might be in trouble.

"I plan to keep mouth shut about this gal until there is a verdict for guilty or not guilty"

I am certainly open to the fact that something happened in that house, and I don't call those young men "boys" and I don't think some of them have much character.....

what really Peeves me about this case is the total lack of solid evidence, or flimsey evidence, and yet some of the MSM and the crooked DA is blabbering like this is a lynching or something...

the more the DA and the Nancy Grace's of the world blather on, the more I think the case is a crock.....

Where was she BEFORE she went to the Duke's house.

I also think she was a half an hour late at that.

So you choose to ignore the fact that the DNA evidence to date is extremely weak, and that there should have been a ton of DNA evidence give the AV's initial story? And the fact that the DA said, before the initial tests came back, that the DNA tests would tell the story?

Got it.

Actually, DUKELAX is probably a better keyword.

Your argument does not track well. Certainly criminals who commit criminal acts take care to cover their tracks.

WHere you been?
