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.

That would explain why there are so many Mangums in the area.
Crystal, for example, registered to vote at 2 different addresses 9 days apart in 2004. Why would someone do that?

I agree. If the investigation shows Nifong had semen the first time and didn't disclose it to the defense, he should be disbarred (sp?). I find it hard to believe they did a vaginal swab with the rape kit, and Nifong didn't know the results!
DURHAM - The father of the accuser in the rape case involving Duke University lacrosse players said his daughter was raped with a broomstick during a party last month, and that explains defense lawyers' claims that no DNA from players was found on her.
Now, there is DNA found in her, and it was from her boyfriend.
Worse than that. Nifong had semen the first time and didn't disclose to the defense a) that he had it, and b) it was no match to Duke LAX
I clicked on that link and got a worm intrusion alarm from Norton. What an appropriate site to get a worm! The NC Bar Association!!
I prefer "accomplice."
Good question. I thought about that too.
Damned if I know.
Thanks for the ping, Howlin.

Now, don't go offending worms by comparing them to lawyers.
is this a new tv show? ...jeepers, how presumptious
That really did happen, I'm not joking about that. Why would the NC Bar Associatio try to implant a worm on visitors' systems?
OK xoxox. Here's my take, based Crystal is the direct ancestor of Senator Willie Mangum. Her family were his slaves back in the late 1700/early 1800's. Basically, he was boffing them, and from that sprang forth the black Mangum bloodline.
It's Durham's "dirty little secret". One they don't want to get out. Does this explain what's going on, and what's gone on in the past regarding her leniant treatment? And the vigor with which the case is being pursued.
No clue, I'm just playing armchair detective here.
the uncc black female sex worker lied:

I wonder if the "boyfriend" has any outstanding warrants? Does he have any previous felony convictions placing him in jeopardy of a extended prison sentence if convicted of another crime?
It drives me nuts that the media is privy to this information, but they withold it from us! Just give us the name, we'll do the rest!

Pi$$ing off Powerful People to secure a rinky-dink DA's office is like mugging a mafia don's daughter for her shopping money.
What wheels? He's been dragging it on the bare axle for the last two weeks...
Mangum, Willie Person (1792-1861) — also known as Willie P. Mangum — of Red Mountain (unknown county), N.C. Born in Orange County (part now in Durham County), N.C., May 10, 1792.

I'm wondering if "boyfriend" belongs to the Frat referred to in xoxoxo's posts
You do have them, right?
