If the prosecution brings up injuries, evidence that may point to other sources for the injuries becomes relevant. For instance, a report about vaginal bruising would open the door to any report of semen of someone other than the accused in said bruised vagina. The rape shield law would only exclude evidence of sexual activity with individuals other than the accused admitted solely to show the accuser is promiscuous.

Yes, I said at the beginning I thought the SANE report may not come in. My reasoning is that if it does it lets in the sex with the boyfriend. There is no requirement that the DA claim injury. He could simply go with her claim and ID if that does not get thrown out.

Maybe Nifong does use the SANE report to claim injuries. IF he does, he lets in the DNA which was not from any lacrosse player.
