Everyone assumes tissue means human tissue, from what I've seen of the reports.
Translated, they are saying they have human flesh (squaring with her story that she scratched someone) and have matched (or maybe not, according to accepted standards of matching. ? ) it to one of the guys not yet indicted but expected to be indicted soon. If it was just some DNA, but not a piece of human flesh, it could easily be that the DNA was picked up by the fingernail while it was in the bathroom trashcan.
They would never get away with using the term tissue for what was actually nothing more than the fake nail sticky part...not in court anyway and probably not even in the Media.
Since I don't trust Nifong, I am questioning everything he leaks to the Media. The Defense seems to have gotten quiet. Wonder what the lawyer for the soon-to-be-indicted (?) player will have to say, if anything?
Does anybody have a bookmark or a link to the thread where we watched the Defense press conference where they talked about the first DNA results?
I am positive I posted word for word what they said about this "material" but I cannot find it.
