Duke Lacrosse DNA: Mystery Man Revealed (Accuser's Boyfriend!!!)

Now, real slowly, what does "game" mean to you?

Are we maybe discussing fighting cocks, or wild ducks, maybe a deer or other tasty meat on the hoof.

Or, in the context of the repeated references to CHESS MOVES, might we be better served thinking of "other games" that could be going on, or maybe even "gaming"?

The "xoxo" posts were cryptic ~ but, don't let my attempt at deciphering them get in the way of your proposed key to the clues. Let's hear them.

He had the cheek swab done on the 3rd because the primary was on the 2nd. He knew this couldn't come out before his primary.

" Altho they may not see a cent, at least that would help clean up their reputations somewhat."

Yes they should. Doing so would also ensure that any money she ever makes resulting from her paid for education over this will at least go back to those guys who were harmed over this. End the end she would gain nothing.

Thanks sissyjane for the pointer.

I think that's a big stretch.

Game doesn't mean gambling to me. And neither does chess. I'm deciphering the xoxoxox's posts as clues to a bigger, behind-the-scenes intrigue.

But I'm certainly open to anyone's interpretation.

He's just trying to take the thread off course; anything to avoid having to listen to the facts that the stripper/hooker has lied and been caught out.

>>He had the cheek swab done on the 3rd because the primary was on the 2nd. He knew this couldn't come out before his primary.<<

That sure does fit the timeline. Those test results were supposed to be back the week BEFORE the primary. The additional swabbing on the third explains the delay. And that it was done the day after the primary ... what timing!

DNA ID'd: It didn't come from Duke player

BY RAY GRONBERG AND JOHN STEVENSON : The Herald-Sun

DURHAM -- Genetic material obtained from a vaginal swab of the accuser in the Duke lacrosse rape case conclusively matches a man who is known to Durham police but who is not a Duke lacrosse player, a defense attorney said Friday.

"In other words, it appears this woman had sex with a male," attorney Joseph Cheshire said. "It also appears with certainty it wasn't a Duke lacrosse player."

The finding could be significant because District Attorney Mike Nifong has said that one reason he believes the woman's claim of rape was that a nurse determined she had vaginal trauma consistent with her story. The Duke players have insisted they didn't have even consensual sex with the woman.

Meanwhile, the second round of DNA testing, like an earlier set of tests, also found no conclusive match to any of the Duke lacrosse players, Cheshire said.

The report represents the prosecutor's second attempt to find a DNA link between any of the lacrosse players and the accuser. After the State Bureau of Investigation lab failed to find such a match, Nifong ordered a second set of tests from a private lab.

The application for the court-ordered DNA tests, signed by an assistant district attorney, said: "The DNA evidence requested will immediately rule out any innocent persons, and show conclusive evidence as to who the suspect(s) are in the alleged violent attack upon this victim."

Nifong has since said he would proceed with the case even without DNA evidence. The grand jury meets again Monday and Nifong has suggested he might seek a third indictment in the case then.

Nifong could not be reached for comment Friday evening. The accuser's father had no comment.

Cheshire acknowledged that the new test report "does show that there was DNA material from multiple different people on one plastic fingernail, and that in that material was some of the same characteristics as the genetic material taken from some of the Duke lacrosse players."

The fingernail DNA finding was first reported in The Herald-Sun on Thursday.

Cheshire emphasized that it was not a "conclusive" match.

"We have DNA for the purpose of drawing conclusions and absolutes," Cheshire said. "There is no certainty in these reports."

Nevertheless, because the artificial nail was recovered from a bathroom trashcan, DNA from the residents was likely to be found on it, Cheshire said. It would have been noteworthy if no DNA from any of the residents had been found on the nail, he said.

Cheshire said the nail was placed in the trashcan by residents of the house at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd. when they cleaned up after the now-infamous lacrosse party the night of March 13-14.

The lawyer said the residents gave the plastic fingernail to police despite being told in advance by officials at Duke University that "there were accusations of a rape in the house and the police may be coming by to talk with them." He added, "Is that consistent with someone who knowingly committed a rape?"

Cheshire represents one of the residents. Neither of the two men indicted in the case lived at the house.

The accuser, an exotic dancer hired to dance with another woman at the party, claims that three lacrosse players raped, sodomized, beat and strangled her for 30 minutes in a bathroom. All 46 white members of the Duke lacrosse team were ordered by a judge to submit DNA samples in the investigation.

The accuser, who is black, said her attackers were white.

Cheshire spoke at an evening news conference called hastily after Nifong's office gave defense attorneys the new DNA report at the close of business on Friday.

Cheshire said the name of the man whose genetic material was found in the woman's vagina is known to both defense attorneys and the police. He declined to identify him, saying there was no need for him to be "dragged through the mud."

The lawyer did say, however, that the man had not attended the lacrosse party.

He added that there "was no other male source" of genetic material taken from the woman's body.

The swab "excludes anybody who could have been or was at that party, including Duke University students."

Another lawyer, Wade Smith, said the new DNA report determined that the material taken from the fingernail was not consistent with the DNA of either of the two lacrosse players now under indictment, Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty. Smith and lawyer Bill Cotter are representing Finnerty.

"Thank you, Mr. Nifong, for making sure Collin Finnerty had absolutely no contact with this woman on the night in question," Smith said.

Cheshire added that he doesn't think Nifong can argue that the accuser was raped by men who wore condoms or who used inanimate objects. The accuser and another exotic dancer hired to perform at the party, Kim Roberts, have said one of the players brandished a broomstick.

He contended that condoms would have left trace evidence, and noted that police haven't seized a broomstick or some other object that could have been used in an attack.

Cheshire also criticized Nifong's office for what he alleged was its leak of the second DNA report, and said defense attorneys know the source of the leak.

"Those types of reports that go out all over this nation create a false impression about this particular case and makes it very difficult for these young men to receive a fair trial," he said. "We feel compelled by the actions of the district attorney's office to continue to speak out about this case."

Friday's new report left defense attorneys with plenty of criticism for Nifong.

Last month's two indictments were based partly on a hospital report that the alleged rape victim had suffered vaginal trauma.

But after receiving the new test results Friday, defense lawyers said the trauma presumably was inflicted by whoever left semen or other bodily fluids in the woman's body -- not by any lacrosse players.

Durham attorney Bob Ekstrand, who represents 32 Duke lacrosse players, described the new report as "unbelievable" and "a stunning thing."

"We'll have discussions with an independent expert who will help us understand the report in more detail and what it means," Ekstrand added.

Attorneys said they didn't know why the SBI failed to detect DNA material on a vaginal swab taken from the alleged rape victim, unless the state agency did not test that particular swab.

"There were a number of things that were not analyzed by the SBI lab," Ekstrand said. "I'm trying to match up what's what. We still need a medical report so we'll know exactly how many swabs were taken and who analyzed them."

Nifong could not be reached for comment Friday evening. The accuser's father had no comment.

SWEET

What's so weird about a broom? I mean, I know there's Swiffers and all out there now, but you can't sweep your porch with a Swiffer!

I asked you specifically not to Freepmail and/or post to or about me, considering your lies last night.

Stop it.

(Onely a fool would reply to this)

*Sigh* My washing machine is broken; going to stepdaughter's to finish washing those SHEETS.

Back in time for KIMBERLY!

I was thinking the "boyfriend" (notice the quotes) was the beater, and pondering if this was not the first time he beat Crystal. Maybe that is why the cops allready had him on file. We know Crystal has no problem reporting crimes (whether real or fictional).

I am not convinced that a rape occurred at all.

No doubt I would have been outed as a troll by now doncha' think.

Nah, there are many trolls lurking here with early sign up dates...just like those at the DUmp. Get in early and lay low. Some are eventually shown the door!

This site is really, really mostly troll free. And it's a great site, once you get through the learning curve and fully understand how things work and fit together.

I don't know *where* that one is coming from. Just ignore. Serious disconnect from reality.

LAX Defense Waits to Hear about D.A.'s Evidence - ABC 11

"You'd think he'd have the statements of the woman," Kirk Osborn, who represents charged sophomore Reade Seligmann, said Saturday. "You'd think he has the hospital reports. You'd think he has a toxicology report. You'd think he'd have all of that. And that's all discoverable."

But the prosecutor -- who has declined daily requests for comment from The Associated Press -- has said little else about the facts of his case, other than that he firmly believes a rape occurred and doesn't need DNA evidence to move forward. That means what the public knows is mostly based on the word of defense attorneys, who have an obvious interest in what they release to the public.

"We don't know what else the prosecution may have," said Stan Goldman, a Loyola Law School professor and former Los Angeles County public defender. That might include a lacrosse player willing to testify for the prosecution, although that's a prospect defense attorneys have strongly dismissed.

"Every single one of these young men steadfastly deny that anything of a sexual nature took place with this accusing woman whatsoever," said defense attorney Bill Thomas, who represents an uncharged player. "None of those stories have changed nor will they change."

Said Goldman, "At this moment in time, I'd be surprised if this prosecution continues unless they really have something significant that they are not revealing" to the public.

Defense attorneys say Nifong's silence extends to them. Attorney Joseph Cheshire, who represents a team captain who has not been charged, said the prosecutor has not responded to several requests for discovery, an issue that has rankled the defense team for weeks.

"Generally when people bring indictments, they have made their case and they have the discovery to give to the defendants," Cheshire said. "It's awfully strange when a person is charged and the district attorney says he doesn't have his discovery. It's kind of like putting the cart before the horse."

The presence of DNA from someone other than a lacrosse player will be tough for the prosecution to explain to a jury, Goldman said.

"I'm not trying to suggest that the prosecution has no case, but this is a real hit for a prosecution case," he said.

After Monday's grand jury meeting, the case will next appear in a courtroom on Thursday, when Seligmann is scheduled to appear. Osborn said he will proceed then with arguments about the lack of discovery evidence -- though he sounded frustrated Saturday that he has to keep arguing at all.

"I don't know what it's going to take to convince (Nifong) he doesn't have a case and these kids never did it," he said.
