DNA tests complete in lacrosse case

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - The state crime lab has completed DNA testing of members of Duke University's men's lacrosse team, sending the results to police and prosecutors who are investigating allegations an exotic dancer was raped at a team party, a spokeswoman for the state attorney general said today.

Noelle Talley said she could not divulge results of the tests, which the players and defense attorneys have said will show there was no rape or sex at the March 13 party.

"That would have to come from the district attorney or the police," she said.

Candy Clark, the administrative assistant to District Attorney Mike Nifong, said the prosecutor would not comment Monday on the results. She said copies were being made Monday afternoon for defense attorneys.

"If the defense releases them, that's up to them," Clark said. "If charges are going to be pending, he can't be discussing them."

A spokeswoman for the Durham police department did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Time for the DA to defecate or abdicate.
