Biden was just on FNC and said that having found "tissue" under the fingernails is more significant than just DNA because tissue indicates a scratching.

We'll see; I'm doubtful because Nifong has put off sharing discovery on Monday (I think I read) and there's no reason to do that if he really has something).

Also, a player could have easily grabbed her arm to force her to leave.

I bet you meant Dr. Baden, but it wouldn't surprise me if Biden popped in to opine ... only no one else would have time to speak.

OMG--for a minute I thought you meant Senator Biden, :>)

OT--I'm staying over here in chat--the bash Bush threads are really getting to me.

Who is Biden?

I thought the article clearly states there was no tissue, and it was not a match, just "consistant with"

According to the ABC article posted several posts back, the defense team says this result is still considering "inconclusive" and that saying it's a match is misleading.

FNS is a joke anymore with their so-called commentators on this case.

Watch Abrams, he is the only one who will have the facts on this news story.

" Biden was just on FNC and said that having found "tissue" under the fingernails "

I've been hearing this all morning.
These are not fingernails or even acrylic nails-but, press on nails.
The press on nails fit directly on top of the actual nail and don't have an under area, in the sense that a real nail would.
A more correct term would be on the front side or back side of the press on nail.
How could DNA be on the press on nail and yet, not actually under CM's nail beds ?
The slightest pressure can remove a press on nail .
Logically, in a life and death struggle , the press on flies off immediately and the real nail gouges out DNA .
Hmmmm...

How can you have "tissue" that has an incomplete DNA sequence?
That doesn't make any sense at all.

B-sharp, aren't you a biologist? Please, I need your expertise here. Is it possible for a fresh biological sample large enough to be considered "tissue" not to have the complete DNA within?
