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.

Even though the broomstick theory has been discussed both here and in the media, I don't remember EVER seeing a broom, or broomstick in any of the evidence collected.
Does anyone have a memory if it being listed as evidence?
If it's not a complete match...13 markers...It is NOT a match and EXCLUDES the accused.
I don't know if she has a boyfriend, and really wonder why ABC put that in quotes.
Am I reading this right--the "boyfriend" was NOT swabbed BEFORE the GJ indictment? What the heck??
Well, that tells me one of three things:
1) The CGM told Nifong that she had no boyfriend, or had not had sex with him for X number of days, so he believed the semen to be the "rapists'".
2) This is not a traditional "boyfriend" and they had to track this person down to get a DNA sample from him, AFTER the DNA results came back that it was NOT any of the LAX players.
3) The "boyfriend's" DNA is already registered on the DPD database, and once they entered DNA profile, they had their match. BUT THEY FAILED TO DO THIS BEFORE THE INDICTMENTS.
All of which lead me to conclude that CGM is a liar and Nifong's case is OVER. The defense will tear this to shreds, if Nifong is foolish enough to continue this persecution--er--prosecution.
The last report on Fox just now said that the DA's office has says that although there's not an exact match, it "may" be enough for an indictment on Monday.
That is going to take some HUGE cajones on Nifong's part, IMO.
Do you know anyone that owns a broom?? So '60's.
I couldn't make head or tails of those xoxo posts/riddles. If you can figure it out, ping me?
Not with you all for backup!

Didn't daddy of skank say she dropped off her car and left with her boyfriend?
I don't know his last name, but his first name is "John"
Ooh. yeah. That could be why he is known to police. Prosecutors sure wouldn't want it to get out that Kim was a "pro" on the side.
That's what I figured all along....her boyfriend.
There was no broomstick listed in the report filed by police and released to the public/internet that we read a few weeks ago.
Also, during questioning, the stripper was asked if the players used their bodies and she said specifically that they did (I think that's right and my memory hasn't failed me. LOL)
Regardless, Smoking Gun had her entire statement to police and she never mentioned a broomstick.
I'm gonna find out about that cheeck swab, but I do remember hearing that those kind of DNA tests don't take that long.
But why didn't he do it when he got the SANE nurse's report back, do you see what I"m saying?
I was told that the same tests were done by LabCorp that the SBI did -- so it's kind of confusing. Unfortunately, my "source" went to Disney World!

All of the posts were linked on the other thread. I don't know how to do it.

Just on a hunch I checked the NC bar directory. And yes, there is a Mangum is the Wake DA's Office.
...but last week, or the week before her father was interviewed and said that she said it was a broomstick...Remember when we were all joking about it?
Have we stricken "rush to judgement" from the lexicon upon Johnny's passing? Or does it merely apply to Suspects Of Color?
