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.

I heard. And was shocked.
And a pre arrest? I guess let the kid come in instead of the cops going to get him? Who knows. Half the time these idiots don't know what they're talking about and it shows.
Yes.
If an arrest is made via a complaint, doesn't an arraignment follow down there? And can't the defense present its side at the arraignment? And wouldn't the standard be probable cause?
That would amount to the same thing as a preliminary hearing. No preliminary hearings, no speedy trial rights ... I'm learning some amazing things about criminal law in NC. It really is stacked in favor of the prosecution.
Exactly. If there had been a rape, all they had to say was "she's a stripper/hooker, we paid her and had consensual sex."
Well, I thought I did back in April.
Mocking Freepers?
You did. I clearly remember the thread you were on when you introduced a few people you "met" on the CTV boards.
Then the defense attorneys will file a complaint against NiFong.
Maybe we should be looking at the judge!!
So the media knew about the vaginal swab and BF's DNA match, 3 days before the defense got it late Friday afternoon? If so, I wonder if it was leaked to a select few in the media, or to all the reporters covering the story.
I've never heard of a pre-arrest until moments ago. But in context, it seems to be some informal meeting between the prosecutor and the defense in anticipation of an expected indictment. Cuomo implied that a pre-arrest occured before Reade and Colin were indicted.
If you read the AV transcript she alleges anal,vaginal and oral rape with a PENIS no magic broomstick.

I won't say another word.
You don't have to:)
Thanks for the report....I think....what the heck? 2 different nails?? All wine and roses for NiFong??
~sigh~
Time to hit the wine....
My goodness....this wine is very good. That's my only comment....
That's you, right? Or has someone figured out how to hack this place.
I have never seen so much superficiality. Why can't they even say the I word...innocent players.
It's nothing but a GAME w/them while innocent young men are being crucified, and the false accuser is still being protected.
