In re your question, from post #991: these quotes are very important:
Even though the district attorney`s office has previously and earlier said that no semen was collected from this false accuser, we now find from this DNA report that, in fact, they did retrieve male genetic material from a single source, from this false accuser, from vaginal swabs.
Now, let me say that to you again. Even though they said earlier that there was no semen taken from the vaginal swabs of this woman, we now find that they did retrieve male genetic material from a single source, a single male source, from vaginal swabs and that that source has been named in this report, is a person known to the Durham Police Department, but is not any of the Duke lacrosse players.
semen vs male genetic material....
Cheshire parsed that carefully, twice. "xx" and "xy" distinguish male from female, I believe, in any human cells. "Male genetic material" could be loose epithelial cells, smegma, saliva, a hangnail, etc, etc, etc, or semen.....so far, I've seen nothing that identifies whatever biological material revealed the profile of this as yet unidentified non-lacrosse player.
Peob just a nit-pick thought, but I can't imagine why he wouldn't just say 'semen' if that is what it is.....
