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.

His name is probably 'John'.
There isn't any way that NiFong didn't know that there was semen present. It's a simple observation test using a specified light according to a web site I just read. DNA testing would be step 2 and require specialized lab work.
Bob Bennett is Bill's brother; he's a Democrat and a HUGE K Street guy.
Think Paula Jones:

Whose hair? The AG's hair, or the boys who lived there?
Krodg, I brought Jezebelle and Publius over here from CTV message boards; we had discussed the boy friend/pimp thing over there.
Thanks, btw! The discussion over here is MUUUCCHH BETTER!
I got the impression it was from the boys in the house.
Absolutely inconceivable they would NOT test for semen so they did, he knew it was there and he knew there was no match. He held in from the defense (and public) and named these kids anyway. This guy is both a fool and very dangerous (to white people in the orbit of Durham)
Bob Bennett is a big shot DC lawyer who represented Bill Clinton-- I think primarily in the Paula Jones case. He is Bill Bennett's older brother.
From the article you linked--
My main thing is to go in and look as pretty as possible and do a nice little dance for the person who calls," Roberts said. "I don't even know how to make any extra tips from anybody."
Barf-0-Rama!!
Yes - I did read that one. That lawyer caught her red handed changing her story.
>>The discussion over here is MUUUCCHH BETTER!<<
Yep! I checked in over there today and the major subject at the moment is the racial slurs. I'm not making this up.
After that magnificent news conference last night... they're obsessed with granddaddies and cotton shirts.
Sorry
Of course! Since the facts do not support Mangum's allegations, they have to change the subject. I truly hope the views expressed by some of the posters over there represent only a small, militant group of people and are not indicative of the population at large.
She is black and those of whom she spoke are white. She is telling the truth. QED.
It's practically a standard in pleading in custody fights in some parts of the country - the accusation of abuse of the father.
This accuser has used lies and schemes for a long time. It's second nature to her.
Actually I think that is pretty fair analysis.
I had to go away and re-think about the link you posted.
First thing which came to mind was... "The History Factory" -- the organization heavily invested in the reparations "act".
For example: A "The History Factory" promo piece
snips:
""There's no training program for History Factory people," Weindruch says. "I need to get people who have been motivated
and inspired by a liberal-arts environment, who have a lot of inter-disciplinary knowledge and who can learn new things quickly. That's what I find in Kenyon grads."
"The History Factory's motto is "Start with the Future and Work Back," says Weindruch".--end snips.
I'm going to do some digging. It's just words, but Weindruch's words echo Nifong's "style", or rather, the other way around.
Just gonna take a peak. See if there are any "out there" links between the "wealthy" Duke Suspects and the "mangums" of Durham...
