A sample that did not match the LAX players is exculpatory evidence. It would have been in the first report, imo.
What is the point of leaving it out, anyway? It will only look bad in court when it comes out that you left that out of the report.

Ah, but think of MF's motivation at that time. The primary was nearing...
No, it really doesn't look bad because the defense was only entitled to know if there was a match to their clients or not AT THAT TIME. A prosecutor isn't required to disclose the entirety of the results to the attorney for a SUSPECT because to do so would endanger the investigation. After the indictments, he had the time frame to produce discovery running that allowed him to maintain secrecy of those results until he produced all the discovery when time ran out and he had to produce the discovery and under the argument that, by then, testing was still ongoing because he sent all the stuff onto another lab.
Nifong of course knew Mangum had lied about if and whom she'd had consensual with just prior to the alleged incident when he went to the GJ for his indictments.
My guess is that she fessed up about this at about the same time that she made the three identifications.
