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.

Not so sure - he knows Ms. Mangum won't last 2 minutes with this army of defense lawyers. And when she looks stupid he looks stupid. Although he's had a huge headstart.
I thnk what he needs most is for her to get a migraine and decide she can't go through with it and face these evil white boys again.
I like co-whort.
I hope this thread won't result in bs wild goose chases.
Talk about reaching. You've set a new record. And no, I had absolutely no idea ten years in advance there'd be any kind of rape scandal with a stripper making wild accusations of being attacked by 46 lacrosse team members.
If I had, I'd had other "visions" and would be rich and Bill Gates would be my butler.
Matched who, what?
Well f_ _ _ a duck!
My a$$ is grass!
Yes siree, yes I am as stupid as I look!
Hey, I'm just tossing in my 2 cents on xoxox's posts. You get what you pay for on the internet.
I believe that link was ".org" The actual NC Bar site is ".com" Probably a fake site.
Now, did Jezabel also speculate that it was her pimp, and are we speaking of the same individual (boyfriend/pimp) or just some john who found out why condoms are a good idea.
"Although I am no celebrity and just an average citizen, I've found myself in the center of one of the biggest stories in the country," Roberts wrote. "I'm worried about letting this opportunity pass me by without making the best of it and was wondering if you had any advice as to how to spin this to my advantage. Why shouldn't I profit from it? I am determined not to let any negative publicity about my life overtake me.......Thanks for your time, The 2nd Dancer."
Here's one from the line-up where she says of the player likely to be indicted Monday solely on her say-so:
Sgt: "OK, so the person had a mustache?"
Crystal: "Yes."
Might have been a dirty little secret some time ago, but the internet has exposed it among so many other things.
Damn. That's what I get for having kids and a fulltime job. ;-)
Care to fill me in, or at least give me a link or 2? TIA...
So, what would be a more powerful motivator to someone like that who already has a criminal record?
How about MONEY.
Yup - I owe you a diet coke.
ROFL!!!!
Perfection!!
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."
I'm fairly open-minded, and it is mind-numbingly WEIRD that the semen was not detected. That the boyfriend had not ALSO been immediately called in for testing/questioning.
Tossing this question into the open: What if the first "swab" indicated a male "sex partner" that one wished to not have known to the public? Can one keep DNA materials "live" (frozen?) and can said DNA materials be planted, in a lab?
If I knew the answer to these, I wouldn't be asking...
Could be---I remember the web-site she/he had posted the link to....
