I guess I'm thinking that prior to discovery, the DA was only required to tell the defense lawyers about DNA result relating to the lawyers clients. In other words, the defense lawyers initially got only part of the report relating to the team members. After discovery, the defense lawyers were entitled to the entire report.
On the other hand, if the first DNA report came back and the DA knew that Crystal had sex with someone other than a lax team member, why did it take so long for the DA to go out and sample the three guys she named?
The boyfriend was swabbed on May 3 - the day AFTER the primary. I think Nifong feared the press learning before the primary that non-player semen was recovered by the SANE, and the focus becoming Mister X instead of soon to be indicted Seligmann and Finnerty.
