On H&C they were discussing the JBR case. Can't remember exactly what was said, but thought that it was interesting that they were waiting for the DNA to determine if he was really the killer...that if the DNA didn't match they couldn't really proceed...well, I guess Durham can show them that you can, maybe you shouldn't, but you can. I just thought the comparisons of how they are talking about a case where someone has confessed, has a background of child pornography charges, is treated skeptically, but a case with no evidence was treated as the real deal....I will do as the DA in Boulder said, keep an open-mind, if they can prove that he couldn't have been in Boulder at the time it's over. Still wandering why someone would confess to something so gross if they didn't do it?

A long time ago, I argued that the SBI lab must not have found any DNA on or in CGM. Defense attorneys were criticized for saying there was no DNA found on CGM after the first round of tests when it was revealed that her boyfriend's DNA was found in her in the second round.

I was told that there was no way SBI missed the boyfriend's DNA, and the lawyers must have been spinning.

Turns out the SBI lab apparently did miss the boyfriend's DNA.

"Nifong’s office filed a motion on court on April 5 asking a judge to order a private lab to conduct further DNA tests because “The tests conducted by the S.B.I. laboratory failed to reveal the presence of semen on swabs from the rape kit or the victim’s underwear.” "

How is this going to fly in court? One test finds no semen, and one test finds semen.

Either that, or Nifong lied to get the second tests paid for.

Didn't see H&C, but I wouldn't find it surprising if any of the liberals there wanted to wait and see what the DNA test show. It is good enough there to prove something but not here. And lets not forget most of the liberals there are Innocence Project cheerleaders. But they are all for railroading of the Duke 3 with no DNA match. The hypocrisy of the talking heads is sickening.
