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.

Nobody brandished anything.
I wonder if Nifong threatened Mangum - follow through with the complaint of you're going to be charged with drunk in public and filing a false crime report.
I don't think he's going to drop it.
I wouold not be surprised if Nifong has his eyes on a state legislative seat.
Not exactly a critical thinker, are you?
I hope Bennett is waiting in the wings, getting locked and loaded, because so far I haven't seen him do squat.
The race baiters will still claim they are guilty, and that this is an example of whitey's justice, and they're going to raise hell about it. Then they will proceed to bring in some rent-a-riot busloads, make a bunch of stupid speeches, blow a lot of rhetoric, and then go home.
ROFLOL!!! :>
I don't believe so. It was reported early on that she said she said she had not had sex for three weeks.
That won't stop Nifong.
You can read into that and see that the defense has its own theory of what Crystal Magnum and her "boyfriend" cooked up, and they are going to launch both barrels at the DA and the prosecution.
Maybe you should go check out all 229,000 of them and then get back to us with what all you learn on the subject.
But first familiarize yourself with the way Google works. I wouldn't want you to waste any time.
Then with this DNA, they trap her in yet another lie.
The prosecution will have to coach her for months in order for her to stand up to defense attacks on her credibility once she is on the stand.
I found 78,400 listings for "muawiyah."
Imagine that.

The Wake County assistant DA Mangum was posted several weeks ago. There's no relationship. It was posted that Ned Mangum is white and that Mangum is a somewhat common name in the region for both blacks and whites.
Yep, all that and possibly something else: perhaps he has his eye on higher office, like the state legislature?
I think that's a given.
I thought so too. So when I saw a relationship to Lavonia (and his having a rap), my brain went into leave no stone unturned.
Did you happen to notice who was the judge for his sentencing? I went to sleep wondering..
"Are you saying that Jezebelle said that in the beginning of the trial and if so, please post a link.
If you are saying that she said that in her first posts on FR, then you should look at the timelines...she didn't join until the middle of April when the story was well under way.
Jezebelle Since Apr 13, 2006"
I've said it since the case first broke, and Howlin', publius and maybe a couple of others can attest to that, even though I didn't say it on this board until I joined. Howlin' and a couple others are members at another board where I am a member, and I joined this board at their suggestions.
By the way, there is no "trial" yet.
I've contended since the beginning that any DNA found in the accuser would be her boyfriend's or her pimp's. and that they were likely one and the same, and more pimp than boyfriend.
But supporting Nifong? "somewhat". eek.
I speculated that the only DNA they would find in the accuser would be that of her boyfriend or pimp, and that they were probably one and the same.
I didn't think they would find traces of some unknown john in her.
