Lab in lacrosse case found many DNA sources (DUKELAX)
The News and Observer ^ | December 13, 2006 | Joseph Neff and Benjamin Niolet, Staff Writers

Posted on 12/13/2006 1:36:38 PM PST by Howlin

A private laboratory hired by the prosecution in the Duke lacrosse case failed to report that it found DNA from multiple males in the accuser's body and underwear, according to a defense motion filed today. The lab, DNA Security of Burlington, found that the DNA did not match the three defendants, their lacrosse teammates or anyone else who submitted their DNA to police, including the accuser's boyfriend.

The new evidence emerged in thousands of documents handed over to the defense in October.

8:32 p.m. EST and Nancy Grace has yet to mention the word "Duke."

For the second night in a row.

Only speculation... but some say that the AV is pregnant, and due soon to deliver a baby.

Counting back on the calendar, this implies a conception in mid-March... near the date of the lacrosse party.

My guess is that Cash is waiting to learn the results of a paternity test, which, in his mind, could "cut either way".

It is hard to believe that, if the woman is pregnant as some are speculating, that a paternity test would already have been conducted.

Just when you think it couldn't get any crazier.

Disclaimer... this is all based on speculation.

I suggest if the baby had any characteristics at all of a white father (hair, eyes, facial features) that it would have been announced within seconds of the birth...

I still have to wonder about the health and welfare of the baby, and the alcohol and drug abuse it was subjected to during the first few weeks of its life.

"It details efforts by police investigators and District Attorney Mike Nifong to assist the accuser in identifying the three men she said gang-raped her in a bathroom at a March 13 team party."

--snip--

Defense attorneys say the videotape, which NBC17 obtained a copy of Thursday, demonstrates even further that this line-up was tainted and should not hold be allowed to be used for identification.

In the video of the accuser looking at the line-up, she looks at a photograph of defendant Dave Evans. After about a minute she says she is 90 percent sure he "looks like" one of the guys who assaulted her, except without the mustache.

Then, she re-affirms the man who attacked her who looks like Evans did have a mustache.

Defense attorneys said Evans never had a mustache. They say the photographs, taken the day before the lacrosse team party on March 12, and the day after on March 14, prove it.

Defense attorneys point out that while the accuser told police she was attacked by three men, she identified four in this photo line up. The defense said "the state apparently just chose three of the four to indict without further investigation."

From WRAL:

A defense attorney tells WRAL that a test taken at the hospital showed that she was not pregnant at the time of the party and that she was given emergency contraception commonly referred to as the morning-after pill.

I simply took exception to the idea a prostitue is asking to be raped by virtue of their career choice.

Really, you better find out a quote to back up this idea. Who on here to you claim said you are attributing above. I am certainly flagging this for the mods.

Guess where Precious can purchase a 'who's my baby daddy' home version paternity test? (Maybe Meehan at DNA Securities already ran one.)

TESTING POSITIVE\ LOCAL FIRMS FLOURISHING IN GROWING GENETIC-TESTING NICHE
Boston Globe
October 18, 2000
Author: Ronald Rosenberg, Globe Staff
Estimated printed pages: 5

Genzyme Genetics and DNA Security Inc. may be at opposite ends of the genetic testing market, but both are flourishing in an arena that is catching the eye of diagnostic testing giants.
Genetic testing, a relatively new field, is used to identify defective genes linked to specific diseases. Diagnostic testing is a larger and more established, though slower growing, field that encompasses traditional medical tests as well as emerging areas such as genetic testing.

Framingham-based Genzyme Genetics, with revenues of about $60 million, is the largest of the more than two dozen companies developing and marketing genetic tests. The company is expected to post its first quarterly profit by the end of the year.

C. Ann Merrifield, president of Genzyme Genetics, said the company sees the scale of genetic testing broadening and eventually helping to reduce health-care costs. Genzyme Genetics is a division of Genzyme Corp. of Cambridge, one of the region's largest biotechnology concerns.

Last year, Genzyme Genetics performed 300,000 tests, ranging from prenatal screening to cancer diagnostics, along with extensive genetic counseling. Its specialty is providing physicians with DNA tests for people who may be carriers of rare inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, Tay-Sachs disease, hemophilia A and sickle cell anemia.

The company's single biggest genetic screening test - 40,000 exams in the last 12 months - is for cystic fibrosis, the most common fatal hereditary disease among Caucasians. The exam, called CF86, checks for 86 mutations in the defective gene that causes the disease. The test is designed to confirm the diagnosis in patients who have the disease and determines those who are carriers.

At the opposite end of the nascent genetic testing market is DNA Security of Glen Raven, N.C., which sells in-home paternity testing kits and services over the Internet to identify biological children and fathers and family siblings, such as long lost twins.

For $320, a customer receives a kit that includes cotton swabs for taking cells from inside the cheek of people being tested, as well as plastic storage tubes, rubber gloves and a 15-page booklet explaining the procedure and how to send specimens to a laboratory that analyzes and compares DNA. Two weeks after the test, the customer receives a letter explaining the results.

However, the home paternity test is not admissible in court because it is conducted without an independent observer.

"About 90 percent of the people who contact us are women, often a mother who wants to know if [her] son is the father of the child," said Brian Meehan, DNA Security's president, who with his wife and a part-time employee expects to sell 800 tests this year, up from 500 last year.

I saw that!

The baby isn't her boyfriend's......hence the RAPE excuse. She knew that she was preggers, when she decided to claim that she was raped. She also figured out that she would get money, by accusing "rich white boys"!

She should be thrown into jail, for the false accusations.

This is a rather delicate term to apply to this woman's apparell, considering she appears more and more promiscuous as the evidence unfolds.
