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.

Later today we are going to see if it's possible to take pictures with our cellphones (each of which has a camera), download them through the special software provided, and then go in on the source code side and change the time and date stamp.
Then we will reload it to the cellphone.
Betcha' gazillions of teens/twentysomethings have tried it already. BTW, I will not report the results here.
Well, if NiFong is as unhappy as that report says, I think he'll do whatever it takes to humiliate any poor soul he's managed to get an indictment on.
Probably. I can't wait for Evans to give his statement which Cheshire has been working on for a while now. Bring it on Nifong!
At least the Florida Supreme Court isn't involved!
BTW, I will not report the results here.

Not very confident are you.
Of course since Duke students are so smart they also changed the clock at the cab company and the ATM right?
Nifong is likely very unhappy. He is also not very smart. So he probably will plow ahead.
It is easy for us to say bring it on. We do not have to fight this. I fully expect the men to be cleared, but I am not facing any risk in this matter.
We could have filled the court room with over 500 friends of my son's -- even his detractors would have rallied to his support -- it would have been a virtual United Nations of people of all genders, colors, stripes and backgrounds. The kids at his HS wanted to have T-shirts silk-screened and would have done so, but the Principal put the clamps on it after calling our son to tell him he had to do so.
All my cellphones have video capability. You can make a 1 or 2 minute film. Then put your phone on charge.
One indictment...per Fox
Hunh?
That's ok...I have 3 twenty-something sons....so, I can find out for myself.
Will wonders never cease ~ you keep pushing an idea on FR and you will get an eyewitness.
Sorry, I supposed you knew where I was coming from with the post about gambling. I realize I sometimes get into a stream of consciousness without giving the parameters. Disregard my post.
That wasn't a rant. That was right on the money. The 'hood' views sucessful blacks as being part of the oppressive "establishment" =or= as sell-outs to the "white" system. And then there's guys like John Hope Franklyn and Cornell West who play up to any black audience.
Makes me ill....
Okay, now it's my turn -- huh???
Well, we expected it, but oh damn.
And Fox will have a report in a moment.
I'm not only a very annoyed alumna but I'm waiting with baited breath for Nifong to have to reveal his discovery. Since he admitted that he "wasn't ready" we know that his discovery was made after the original indictments. I am utterly convinced of the players innocense and I am hoping that the families take this guy to court. Since they are not NC residents they will go to federal court and not one in the Durham circus. I really feel like the closer we get to Nifong having to share his evidence with the defense the closer we will get to either a judge dismissing this case or everyone including the biased media having to admit Mangum is a liar. Nifong's delaying has to be torture for everyone involved. That's why I say bring it on--not the fight but the evidence. Wednesday Reede's attorney has a hearing asking to dismiss Nifong as prosecutor---he is unfit. The defense seems ready.
Thank you!
Oh dear!
