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.

One rule, is yes -- if you have it throw money at bastards harassing you. Why is that a rule? Because if bastards are harassing you, it is because you are perceived by bastards as vulnerable and bastards have good sense in that regard -- their sense that you are is likely true.
The outcome is -- in most cases -- the bastards come to see you as a "good guy". I'm talking bastards -- not theives, and not the rare sociopath.
Most times this is just oiling the squawking machinery.
If you are smart and have some energy, long term on both -- you can work to fix the system. It is, in my view, a duty to try to do so. But that takes time, time, time, perseverance and a plan.
This all sort of fits with Tates5's posts about her cousin and Crystal's preference for bad guys who are successful. It also shows that Tate is very well known to the Durham Police Department.
Exactly!
Luke I am your DAD.
I can see my sons & nephews now....

"You have got to see these 2 skanks. Wait-I'll send a picture."
Thats good news.
I wondered if the firm Kim embezzeled from was in that new building.
I saw unelected "officials" running "durham". How it got set up, and how the "insider operation" was kept running. Then I got to see how it played into State and National levels.
This case, FA/DA (false accuser/District Attorney), is the obvious result of web upon web of deceptions. To the point where, I wouldn't be surprised one day to learn that the FA HAD to play this game and because her boyfriend's unpaid debts would be paid off (dittos Kim), or that she was forced into this "play" as a subject held hostage by "other crimes" and being used by power players as a means to "build their own personal empires".
Certainly a possibility. If that is true though, I would think it casts doubt on the idea that the FA (False Accuser) made up the rape story to avoid going to jail (which has been my take).
I wanna know if Tate/Williams were merely the bagmen acting on behalf of Lavonia. Point being... where did that money go?
Jim Hardin and Judge Stephens. Hmmm.
Crime Analysis Lab of the PD? Oh yeah. That why I was asking if DNA could be planted.
O yea, there's trouble in Durham City...
It does
I want to know
Who is the boyfriend
Who be her babies' daddy
Why does bunnyhole have a Linden, NJ (outside Newark) address and is the same Willie Drewery I posted about?
What were the pickup arrangements after she was dropped off
Where did Kim go before Kroger
And why, oh why, is she being protected ?
I want her trick book
What did she have to do to plead down to a misdemeanor when she stole a taxi and almost ran a cop down?
Oh! Was it your post earlier (I have lost track) that mentioned a relative's post on another board? She said the family is in shock dealing with her "secret life" There are 2 lawyers and 1 orthodontist in the family.
Was the poster tate something or other?

I think your suggestion is absolutely PLAUSIBLE and worth saving and remembering. With all I learned about how "durham" operates, what all went down with the attempt to build the American Tobacco Center. Oh yea. Yours is entirely plausible. IME.
Capitol Group is parent company to WRAL of Raleigh. They put up the funds to have the center built.
Do you mean to say you've heard or believe that Lavonia --owns-- the building?
It was none other than Lavonia who led the opposition to the building and because it was suggested that Durham citizens contribute -- hold your hat -- 1 cent per year towards parking facilities -- for a project estimated to bring in 4,000 JOBS.
What else you know? Do TELL! pls.
Say, what??!
So, this Mark Edwards (possibly the "boyfriend") is a member of the left wing and pro-druggie group NORML?
HA!
I remember that good Kurt Lodger on MTV several years ago promoting this group. It was the theater of the ridiculous.
This is a fascinating find if true.
OMG--Still wiping away the tears
That was the funniest thing I've seen in a long time!!
With all due respect to everyone, I disagree. This "thing" has had much larger implications from the get go.
In a word, this is a standard DEM Procedure. It's got the same ectoplasmic blurriness that liberals use to launch "issues" into national level.
Superbowl Sunday: If one woman is raped; then all women are raped. ad nauseum. It's playbook democrat.
If it were confined to "local"; Nifong never would have done 70 interviews, IMO. And before ANY evidence was "discovered". He launched those on mere say-so; not facts. And the presses went right along with it. The various "armpits" of the Liberal Medusa sprung into action so immediate -- it reminded me of the slaying of Mayor Moscone and Harvey Milk, and how the City of SF was IMMEDIATELY plastered in PRINTED BANNERS, and PRINTED (silkscreened) armbands which they handed to us at all bus and transit locations as we were arriving to our jobs to start the day. The next day. (note: Silkscreening takes time to process, not to mention the broadspread alert, the assigning of activists to various locations, lining up spokes persons, the thousands of pieces of flier literature which had to have been produced overnight at COPY PLACES WHICH WERE NEVER OPEN ALL NIGHT.)
Whew. Sorry, ya'll. Had a flashback...
It's classic feminist propoganda. It's almost word for word at all and each of their sites.
ROFL!
"She keeps repeating that the majority of rapes have no DNA & that many rapists go to jail on less evidence than we have here. Like someone is telling her that.

That is certainly the mantra of some of the local ABC site posters - including a Swedish guy - who seem absolutely desperate for this rape to have happened.
Yes, I get it, any sexualized, non-emasculated white male is a criminal in the Andrea Dworkin realm. And then we have Wendy Murphy & Nancy Grace to scream it out on the TV. Women like this are probably raising sons. Absolutely sickening.
Sure sounds like. And to think she just had the coziest "visit" with the FA's family. I think I read that they cried together.
Kim left Crystal -- there alone.
Women do not do this in safe or in unsafe situations. At least, none that I know -- even enemies -- don't behave this way. We keep an eye out for each other.
