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.

I wonder if Cash Michael's December surprise was going to be the false accuser's baby.

The defense attorney's motion about the other DNA found sure interfered with Cash's surprise.

CTV reporterette: the accused's FATHER is sitting in front of the reporterette.

So, it doesn't sound like the case is going to be thrown out.

[Neverforget01]

Judge Osmond Smith ruled in a closed-door meeting with prosecutors and defense attorneys that the defense could review the files, but that the information wouldn't be made public

What good is that?

Hey! Watch it! Before our case, I was blonde, too. Now, I've gone gracefully white-ish. ;-)

WRAL needs to be excerpted.

So the defense gets the records and its spun as being "sealed". Once the defense reads the records they will then argue they are relevant and should be revealed. Unless I'm mistaken about what's in them (history of bi-polar mental illness and drug abuse), they'll be coming out eventually.
It seems the defense is on a winning streak with its motions.

Smith hasn't ruled on the lineup procedure yet, as far as I know ..

Amazing....there is ZERO evidence that the skank was raped by the accused. ZERO. What a nightmare.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Yippee!

I have NO clue; anything I thought I knew about the law in NC has been flushed down the drain in this case.

But she did get in trouble while she was in the service and got a dishonorable discharge, I think.

Had an affair and a baby, I believe.

[Howlin]

I cannot believe this.

[Dukie07]

What I meant was: why bother ruling on the med records if he was going to dis-allow the id, which would effectively dismiss the case?

[maggief]

I had the post pulled.

[don'tbedenied]

Not today, but the motion to dismiss wasn't scheduled today. The wheels of "justice" sure are slow in North Carolina. One things for sure, The Fong ain't giving up.

[Carolinamom]

Since there was NO DNA from any of the Lacross players, Meehan's claim that he and Nifong did not withhold test results (they DID) and chose to withhold that part of the tests to protect the other team players.

THAT does not make sense.

[Howlin]

I forget myself sometimes; I don't want to lose them as a source............damn, whatever would we post??

[Dukie07]

"Slow" doesn't even begin to describe this....

[Sacajaweau]

Well, we all know FOR CERTAIN that Nifong was playing with Meehan AND THAT'S collusion. Black's best application in this case is "for deceitful purposes".
