Some info in this article I never heard before...and some of the "facts" are wrong.

"But results from a second round of DNA tests are expected back this week, and defense lawyer Bill Thomas told NEWSWEEK that in the first round some DNA showed up under the woman's fingernails, though tests were inconclusive about identity. When the case first broke in the press, Nifong, a white man who is running for election in a racially mixed county, hinted to NEWSWEEK that blood and urine tests of the woman would reveal the presence of a date-rape drug. It appears from medical records that the woman was sexually abused, though the precise timing is unclear. "
Maybe Nifong was uncertain that even if any traces of a drug was found, he did not have the evidence to go with a charge of using a drug, or whatever, but was going to use it as bases for to gain an overall rape conviction.
"were inconclusive about identity." The defense's words or newsweek's? The defense was VERY clear.
