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.

Yep.
It is outrageous that Nifong has not given the medical reports to the defense attorneys.
The xoxox posts were absurd.
There is a Mangum in the Wake Co. DA's office - an assistant DA. Supposedly he is white. Mangum is a somewhat common name in the region for both blacks and whites.
Oh, and don't forget to ask about the broom!
If the fourth player is also one who lives there, that makes it even worse for Nifong.
Originally Roberts said they simply suggested a broomstick as a sex toy because the women didn't bring any sex toys. She didn't say anything about seeing a broom or a broom being brandished.
"I hope the young stripper babe enjoys her free ride through college courtesy of the activist groups."
I hope she gets hit by a freight train some night when she's out driving around drunk off her ass. She's falsely accused and ruined the lives of these promising young men and tried to run over a cop. She's a drunk driver and generally a menace to society, all things considered. Her whole existence is a train wreck!
I think she said it'd been three weeks, but I'm not sure.
Nifong was sure that the players' DNA would be found, so I think it's safe to say he didn't think someone else's would be found.
I don't think he's somebody connected. I think it's some lowlife slug pimp or boyfriend. or they're one and the same.
How have you been? Glad to see you are still around here.
This case isn't going to affect black voting in other places. Blacks don't vote that way. 90% vote for whomever promises the most gravy or for whomever their plantation masters tell them to vote for, IF they vote. If this was something with a wider political target, we would have seen and heard more racial BS from people further afied from Durham. Who showed up? The New Black Panthers, a group not taken seriously by mainstream blacks and not even by many fringe blacks.
Don't go there.
Remember Occam's razor.
I don't think they would have known nor would she have said, even if she knew, who the john actually was. No, I think it's her pimp or boyfriend, who may be one and the same person. Other people would know his name, so she wouldn't be able to hide it, especially if she lives with him. Since she has no license, she may even have her car registered to him so that the car can be insured. There could be lots of ways that her name is connected to his, including phone records, so it's not like she can hide who and where he is. When the other DNA popped up, they must have called him in for a swab, simple as that. They would have interviewed him at the same time they took the cheek swab, so it will be interesting if he said they hadn't had sex shortly before the alleged rape. If he did lie, since there's proof of it, I can see the defense raising the spectre of collusion to frame these guys and him being the one who beat and or drugged her as part of that plan. So, if he lied, it's a huge bonus to the defense.
I wouldn't count on it.
had been deposited there "immediately prior to her being examined" in connection with the alleged rape.

"I have a feeling the governor stepped in with a "Get Rid of Him. There isn't any choice and then YOU get your butt out of dodge...I don't give a damn. You are where you are because I put you there not because of your stupid case. I don't want this backflowing to my office".
But then, this is only my imagination searching for scenarios. Until that name OFFICIALLY comes out, and it will, it's just mind game time."
Get rid of WHO?
Sac, what are you talking about? I'm not following what you say you're imagining.
So sad, but true.
She didn't say they used condoms. Nifong said they might have and she might not have known, which is absurd, at least as it relates to Reade.
I don't think they found semen in her mouth - just the vagina.
What are "lemon tits"?
I don't think there is a pubic hair. Supposedly there is part of a hair - like, from someone's head.
