Charlotte Observer ^ | April 27 | Mark Johnson

DURHAM - The father of the accuser in the rape case involving Duke University lacrosse players said his daughter was raped with a broomstick during a party last month, and that explains defense lawyers' claims that no DNA from players was found on her.

The woman's father, appearing on MSNBC's "Rita Cosby Live & Direct" Tuesday night, said his daughter told him that when three team members raped and sodomized her, they also used a broom.

Here is something I found about extracting wood DNA - http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20020921/bob8.asp "researchers have made progress extracting DNA from wood, a difficult challenge in itself because wood is made up mostly of empty dead cells." IF this is true, then she should have said something immediately, and her injuries would have been different, IMO. Many ifs here. The father shouldn't be talking. Not good for anyone.

Not to be a smart arse or anything but didn't Tawany Brawly claim the same thing or something similar? This whole thing doesn't pass the stink test for me........

Are there reports that medical evidence shows she has injuries consistent with rape? I know she was bruised up but that was all I'd heard.

The thing is, this wasn't mentioned before because they didn't know that DNA was going to enter into it(weren't thinking you know). They had to come up with a cover story to explain the lack of DNA, it is pretty obvious that is what is going on.

IMHO, the DA should be pursuing two crimes here--potential rape and potential false rape accusation, and he should be pursuing both with equal gusto.

I suppose it is possible, but my first thought is: "Bunch of extremely horny, drunk college athletes hire a stripper. They get so horny that they ... go get a broomstick but don't, themselves, 'get busy?'" Seems odd. Possible (like, maybe they got "too drunk to manage"), but odd.

Hmm. This is smelling a lot like Tawana Brawley if you ask me.

Lord knows, I have seen my share of what horny drunk young men can do (in retrospect!!!). However, especially at that age, you are more interested in getting laid than doing something THAT ugly.

Yes. Someone smells $$$$ from them rich white boys, IMHO. Make it racial and degradation, the sky is the limit. Push for a big bucks settlement. A girl has to make a living?

Al Sharpton said it not like the Tawana Bradley case but like the ABner Louima or _____ Diallo case, I can't remember which. I think it was a while back on Fox. He might have been with O'Reilly? I wish I could remember...

Being raped by a broom is something that she would have known from the start so why did they do DNA analysis claiming that the test would implicate the guys?....she would have known that no such DNA would be found.....this sounds like a case of 'make the story match the evidence'.

No Dad ...

"three team members raped and sodomized her, they also used a broom."


"that explains defense lawyers' claims that no DNA from players was found on her."

There was no DNA yet to be reported on. So if they raped her, there'd be SOME DNA evidence. A broom won't remove it ALL.


You can't have it both ways.
