Second Round Of DNA Results Released To Attorneys In Duke Case

POSTED: 5:26 pm EDT May 12, 2006
UPDATED: 5:52 pm EDT May 12, 2006

DURHAM, N.C. -- District Attorney Mike Nifong began distributing a second round of DNA test results to defense attorneys in the Duke lacrosse investigation late Friday afternoon.

As reported Thursday, the results show a partial DNA match with one of the lacrosse players who has not yet been charged.

The private lab tested finger nails, hair samples and other pieces of possible evidence. The report has scientific data, which defense attorneys began reading Friday afternoon to determine if there are any other matches involving the alleged rape of an exotic dancer at a lacrosse party. Defense attorneys said the first round of DNA results did not show a match.

Two players, Colin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann, have been indicted in the investigation.

The grand jury is scheduled to meet Monday, and Nifong will likely seek the indictment of the third suspect with the new report.

A partial match is not a match. It's 13 markers or nothing.
