This is my summary of what I remember:

She told the SANE nurse that she had not had any sex for three(?) weeks prior to the incident. I think that the SBI found nothing in her (or maybe something inconclusive in her) on the first DNA test.

The second more-sensitive DNA test apparently found something in her but it did not match any of the players. So with this evidence the DA went back to her and forced her to tell who she'd been with prior to the incident. She named three men - the boyfriend and the two drivers - and DNA samples were taken from them. This is why the second DNA test took so much longer than the first.

Upon receipt of the second DNA test, the defense announced that there was a match on the boyfriend but did not announce

1) whether more than just her boyfriend was found in her and

2) if so whether there was a match to the drivers

3) if so whether DNA was found in her that matched not the lax team, not her boyfriend, not the drivers, but other men unknown.

Does that fit with what everyone else remembers?

I don't think the SBI would've missed a vaginal swab containing semen, which is what the defense described at their presser after the second results came in.

I think the SBI report given to the defense on April 10 omitted the semen results, because no player was found to be the donor. The lab or perhaps Nifong made a decision that the players had no right to know about findings other than their own.

Cheshire described the DNA on the vaginal swab as "belonging to a single male source".

The nail, containing DNA from which Evans could not be excluded. was described by Cheshire as also having DNA of others (not necessarily players), but not Seligmann or Finnerty.

I think that the SBI found nothing in her

There is a difference between "finding no match" and "finding nothing" in her.

I bet they found a LOT but they didn't and maybe still don't know who it matched. Maybe that's why they want the gag order for fear that it might 'leak out' that they found 10 different sources in her.

Listen carefully to their reports. They talk about matches, not how many different sources.

She named three men - the boyfriend and the two drivers - and DNA samples were taken from them. This is why the second DNA test took so much longer than the first.

Do we know they took samples from the "drivers"? I hadn't heard that..

2) if so whether there was a match to the drivers

If they did sample the "drivers" and the defense announced that they found a match to a "single male source" then that tells me that there was not a match on the "drivers". If there was no match to the "drivers" and there is more DNA than just the BF's match.... Then she must have lied about only 3 that could have made the deposit...

Does that sound right?

Only match was to her boyfriend is what we were told - definitely none to the LAXERS. Whether there was a primordial mix of others there, as well was not included in the information I've seen. Then, there was the "fingernail" which showed a link to D. Evans who lived in the house, picked up the nail and gave it to the police from the wastebasket where it lay among normal bathroom trash items.

The AV stated to SANE and Nifong that she hadn't had sex with anyone else that night, however, with the results of the first DNA test, Nifong knew that couldn't be correct. The AV was contacted by someone at that point, and she fessed up to having had consensual sex with three other men (her boyfriend and her "drivers"). The "drivers" were questioned whereupon they said they took her to at least 8 jobs at a hotel the previous weekend. Whether she was hired as a "dancer" or "prostitute" is yet to be determined, but I imagine the defense attorneys will be pressing a P.I. to find out who hired the AV the weekend prior -- big bucks, you guys, major expenditure of cash on the part of these families to save their children. For the life of me, I hope there's Divine Justice on this.

I still understand it that one semen DNA sample was found in her, not three, and that that knowledge and that it wasn't that of an lax player came to Nifong after the first round of testing, not the second round from the private lab.
