May 13, 2006 — The second round of DNA test results in the Duke University rape investigation show "no conclusive match'' to any lacrosse players, defense attorneys said, but a vaginal swab of the alleged rape victim produced DNA from a "single male source'' — a man not on the lacrosse team who did not attend a March 13 party that was the site of the alleged rape.

Defense attorney Joe Chesire declined to identify the mystery man or his connection to the alleged victim, but ABC News' Law and Justice Unit has learned that the unnamed source of the DNA is the alleged victim's "boyfriend," according to her mother.
ABC News is withholding the name of the man because he is apparently not a target of the investigation. Records indicate that Durham, N.C., police gave the "boyfriend'' a cheek swab to collect DNA on May 3, ABC News' Law and Justice Unit has learned exclusively.
It is unclear if or how the first DNA tests missed what appears to be the only foreign genetic material found on the alleged victim's body, defense attorneys said. Two Duke lacrosse players were indicted more than two weeks before the cheek swab was taken from the "boyfriend."
It is also unclear whether the alleged victim had sex with the "boyfriend" the night she claims to have been raped by three Duke lacrosse players. DNA experts tell ABC News that genetic traces of semen can remain in the body up to six days after intercouse.

I hope so, Howlin. People shouldn't be able to get away so easily about crying wolf. If she is proven to have lied, she should be made an example to others who might do it too. Accusations like this can be very damaging to an innocent person.
HA!
Was it you who said, several weeks ago, around 2:30 am, you had to go since you had to wake for work around 6:30? I laughed.
Thank goodness I retired a year before I found FR! :)
It makes me ill. I never thought I would want to search for a new home.
Click "Search," on this page. Click "Find User." Type in the user's screen-name.
thanks guys. that's what I was was working on.
very good.
Me either. Every time this place goes whacky, I think I'll leave, but then I always try to save it.
This time the StormFront people and the Birhcers and Buchananites are running this place into the ground. I'm not sure it can be saved.
"I am sorry, I cannot remember who put up that fish picture to represent Kimberly, but I just cannot get it out of my mind when I watch her."
That's so funny! Same here!
Not me! I've almost completely stopped working since my son died; I cannot concentrate enough to get my court reporting accurate enough to submit to a court; when I realized I wasn't doing as good a job as I had done before, I decided to only take emergency cases.
But we should go to bed -- tomorrow is going to be a big EARLY day!
And the best part is my husband is going to be in Baltimore all week, so I won't even have to PRETEND to do anything around the house!
JLS. Is there any way to see if someone is on line?
or when they were last logged in? i'm out of my element.
thank you

Not that I know of. A way to see what someone has posted is to click on their name at the bottom of one of their posts and you will go to their page and then click on In Forum in the dark blue line.
That will get you the person whose name you clicked on posts. If you can not find the name you want follow the above for any name and then once you get the posts of that person, change the name in the search box to the one you are interested in.
I hope this makes a bit of sense. I am not saying you can not do the more complicated things you want. I have a very limited understanding of how this board works too.
I did find Jezebelle! Thank you.
Thanks for all your help of the new one.
I am trying to do the capitals, it is a bad habit.
When my girls were little, their father died and I had to raise them alone (NO, I wasn't an exotic dancer!!). I would tell them at Christmas or birthdays to give me a list and I will do the best I can, but you won't get everything on your list. My girls understood that and yet we have adults on this site who can't. Some of the posters on FR are spoiled little brats!!
I am truly sorry about your son, Howlin. I didn't know.
Protect the Bill of Rights just said she has to get up in 3 1/2 hours, so it might have been her I was thinking about.
Yes, and I'm sure you agree the same goes for that SOB Nifong.
I'm wondering if the defense could seek relief in a federal court at some point-- perhaps on an Equal Protection or Due Process violation.
LOL! So, as the broomstick claim dissolves into the same thin air from which it was made, you now claim it was a lacrosse stick, lol!
No, I didn't forget to put it in.
Get back to us when you have something to support your theories.
:>
You're welcome. Your remark explains a few things, too.
It isn't realistic to think that this case is going to convince blacks who would have voted Republican to now vote rat. If they are persuaded by Republican Party principles, they would not be the kind of people who are persuaded by the Mike Nifongs of this world.
No need to get pissy just because others (and not just me) disagree with you.
