DNA testing of the semen conclusively excluded Diaz as the attacker.

Janet Reno should find the real rapist, instead of trying to run for dog catcher in Florida. She will never make it to the governor's office.

Dr Kruskall believes the most likely explanation is that Jane's mother conceived non-identical twin girls, who fused at an early stage of the pregnancy to form a single embryo, according to a report published today in New Scientist.

For some reason, cells from only one twin dominate in Jane's blood - used for tissue-typing. In her other tissues, however, including her ovaries, cells of both twins live amicably alongside each other, hence the apparently impossible genetics of her three sons.

One son came from an egg derived from the twin whose cells dominate Jane's blood, while his brothers came from eggs derived from the other twin's cells

Thank you for providing a link to an article explaining a genetic chimera.

"Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno, who was the county prosecutor when Diaz was convicted, did not return a call for comment Wednesday."

She coerced eight women into identifying an innocent man as their attacker. Two of the women obviously felt guilty about sending an innocent man to prison and refuted their testimony 13 years later. Now DNA shows he couldn't have been the attacker in 2 more cases.

To be fair Janet Reno should be sentenced to prison for 26 years. The responsibility rests with her.

Janet Reno never met a Cuban she ever liked. She preferred Butch WASPs like Ann Bishop.

Janet Reno, hmm? I had an uncle some several generations ago who was a judge in a case where a miniser was accused of murdering his wife. Justice was swift in those days and the minister was duly hung. Several months passed and another arrested criminal confessed to the murder - the minister was innocent. My Uncle went out to his barn and shot himself. Are you listening, Janet?

We've always been a people given to witch hunts, beginning in Salem. The subject just changes...

>>"Bird Road Rapist"<<

Wonder what happened to the occurrances of rape after Mr. Diaz was arrested?

Did the true ""Bird Road Rapist" continue his rampage? Wouldn't this have given the authorities a clue?

Inquiring minds would like to know.
