So a lap dancer who was all over the guys and probably touching them has some skin cells under her nails.

I would find it odd if she did not.

What was the DNA results regarding what is between her legs? Anything there to back up a rape?

They found this new fingernal in the garbage. But where did they find the pubic hair? In the same garbage bag as the pubic hair? or in the house? Either way, that would be WEAK evidence too.

FROM ARTICLE:

"If accurate, the fingernail tissue match would offer the first DNA evidence potentially linking the dancer and an alleged attacker.

But because a complete DNA pattern was not obtained from the tissue, it was not possible to match it with the nearly 100 percent certainty that DNA results usually offer, the sources added."

okay so the article says "the fingernail tissue" in the first sentence and calls it a "match."
Then in the second sentence it states, "DNA pattern was not obtained from the tissue", and "it was not possible to match it."

Darn, which is it?

It does not sound as if what was under her nails was tissue, meaning there was no skin from digging somebody. So what was the DNA??

Regarding this article....

In your experience, how long did someone have to look to find the cab driver's name in relation to this incident?

And if he was merely picking up a fare, would the decision to charge him with a misdemeanor be Nifong's or would there be the old "plausible deniability" built in?

More from the ABC article posted.:



They insist that results from this set of DNA tests are also inconclusive and that there is no match, and that to say otherwise is "very misleading."

They also say it would not be unusual to find players' DNA in the bathroom or garbage can of a house where some of them lived and many others spent time.



The defense will almost certainly argue that these new DNA results should not be permitted in court, since they are not a perfect match. In cases where DNA evidence is not a perfect match it is sometimes considered inadmissible as evidence.

Found this bit of humor posted as a comment on a Duke website:

A strip club in Charlotte, North Carolina, has decided to capitalize on Duke's newfound Lacrossegate infamy. The billboard in front of Southern Belles Strip Club spells out "LACROSSE PLAYERS WELCOME" in large block letters.

Judging by what we've learned from Lacrossegate, I propose a new sign be added:
"CUSTOMERS 18 YEARS AND OLDER MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A QUALIFIED ATTORNEY"
