-snip-

After his disastrous performance at the December 15 hearing "when he admitted that he and Mike Nifong had entered into an agreement to intentionally withhold exculpatory DNA evidence "Dr. Brian Meehan filed an amended report, which purported to be the complete results of his findings. That report did little more than confirm what he admitted under oath in questioning from Brad Bannon: that DNA from multiple, unidentified, males was found in the accuser's rape kit.

Defense attorneys have continued to scrutinize Meehan's data, however, and today's motion reveals that they have uncovered even more DNA "from additional unidentified males "that Meehan's amended report failed to include. According to the motion, DNA Security discovered the DNA of at least two males in the accuser's rectum that did not match the Defendants, their lacrosse teammates, or anyone else who provided a reference DNA sample.

Today's defense motion also provides a statistical summary of the Meehan test results: A collective review of all materials provided to the Defendants and information obtained by the Defendants about DNA Security's work shows that at least 12 of the 22 rape kit DNA extractions, "in other words, over half of them" contained male DNA that did not match the Defendants.

What about the other 10 DNA extractions? Is that what the Defense wants?
