That's what I read yesterday. Without 13 matches, the "supposed perp" is excluded. It is not him.
I'm not sure how DNA computes but guessing that any of the boys would match 5 markers....as in a general population data base??

I re-read the Durham H-S article. The logic apparently goes like this
1) The DNA is a MISMATCH with all but one player. This excludes all other players.
2) The "rapist" is known to be one of the players.
3) Therefore, by process of elimination, the DNA is a sufficient match to the unindicted player #3.
If you introduce one other person into the party then this logic fails unless you DNA test the additional person to prove he is a mismatch like all the other players.
