Lab in lacrosse case found many DNA sources (DUKELAX)

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.

There has been much speculation on this thread about the paternity of the FAs baby. Once and for all, it is not the offspring of a Duke LAX player. None of the players tested positive for DNA. She was tested for pregnancy at the hospital (it was negative) and given the morning after pill.
Furthermore, the date of conception is at least a week after the LAX party and possibly more based on the likelihood of a third child arriving early.
There are plenty of candidates but none of them plays LAX at Duke.

Impossible to prove, unless Meehan can be "turned" by the defense.

[Sacajaweau]

AND, when everyone met, she would have known that she was pregnant.

Be real!! The chick thought they would settle out of court and no one would even have to know about the baby because they would have "paid" by that time.

I think Nifong is probably not her best friend at this point. He screwed up "her plan".

[maggief]

Perhaps Smith is just going through the motions.

;o)

[Neverforget01]

Meehan testified that he told Nifong the results---I think I have this right.

[maggief]

No, it does not make sense at all.

[Neverforget01]

Ouch mags LOLOL

Now all you need to complete this picture is for Dasshole to flap his wings and act like a vulture. Yaaaaaawwwwk!

[maggief]

Yes, WRAL is the best source for local news.

Interesting, they've pulled the story on the closed-door ruling.

[Sacajaweau]

If Greta implied that, then I'm thinking the baby is a light mulatto. They're being very careful not to inject anything about the "possibility" into any text. Would be really grand if it was a dicks baby....say Gotlieb.

[Dukie07]

cute (haha) ;)

"The chick thought they would settle out of court and no one would even have to know about the baby because they would have 'paid' by that time."

As this evolves, it seems the most probable reason for Jaki's exuberance over "the money that would be coming the family's way". I'm sure the boys' families have had this additional worry hanging over their heads for months (not because they believed any of their sons were the father, but because they knew what was hanging in the balance). I have been confident, due to our experience, that no one ever believed a decent, God-fearing family, would allow their name to be dragged through the mud and would settle out of court to make the humiliation and degradation go away.

Dismissal of the case or suppression of the identifications are unlikely since those motions were just filed this week.

I expect that Judge Smith will schedule an evidentiary hearing on the motion to suppress the accuser's identifications.

[Sacajaweau]

Interesting! Did she claim rape?

[Howlin]

Wow, well, here is the pertinent part I had in my other browser window:

Duke Lacrosse Accuser's Military, Medical Records Sealed

Posted: Today at 9:48 a.m.

Durham — The judge presiding over the Duke University lacrosse rape case on Friday sealed the military and medical records of the accuser.

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.

The move was one of several that came during a hearing before a packed courtroom. Players Reade Seligmann, 20, Collin Finnerty, 20, and David Evans, 23, and their families, lacrosse coach John Danowski, former coach Mike Pressler and scores of Duke students attended the hearing.

W/all the lies connected to this case and no official announcement of the birth, plus the convenient 9-mos birthdate, I'm even beginning to wonder if there really is a baby out there at an undisclosed location calling her 'mama'.

[don'tbedenied]

Yes its slow, but I think the new judge is not the cowardly potted plant Judges that previously ruled on this case. The Judge sure got the lying lab on the stand quick, and Meehan quickly put the fong in the middle of the decision to remove the exculpatory evidence from the report.
Don't believe that ruling on motions or even considering motions that presuppose a trial, means that the Judge is predisposed to rule against the motion to dismiss and the motion to surpress.

[Howlin]

I don't think so; I think she divorced the first husband the guy that she was involved in is the father of her second child.

[Guilty by Association]

"She majored in sumpin' but it wasn't addition."

Do you mean "addiCtion?"

Put an end to the "Durham False Accusation of Rape, and Charges, Etc." (Durham FARCE) perpetrated by the "Fool-Run-Amok, Uber-District Attorney" (FRAUD Attorney).

[Dukie07]

I certainly hope that's the case. I just want this to be over for those families. Now. Guess patience isn't one of my virtues....
