If the DA does not mention the DNA found in her nor injuries, then the other man is not involved. If he mentions the DNA found in her or claims injuries, he has openned a door he may not wish to open.

what you say doesn't make sense. The defense would get it admitted in any trial.

Not with most rape shield laws. I don't know the details of the NC law, but I suspect the only way the other man gets in is if the prosecution tries to show injuries or mentions DNA on her.

The defense will of course point out that no DNA from the lacrosse players was found in or on her.
