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.

Thanks for the note on Hannity. I am not sure if my wife will let me be at home then, but if so I will check it out.
The boys would have no standing to demand such a test until and unless one is named as the father on the birth certificate, which isn't going to happen, or Liefong tries to introduce the existence of the child as evidence of the rape which he wouldn't do without having already done the testing that proves one of them was, and we know that also isn't going to happen, so the only remaining scenario under which they could demand testing would be in a civil paternity suit brought by Mangum.
No, I think the strategy is to just leave this hanging out there as a suspicion for the ignorant black racists of Durham and elsewhere to glom onto as further proof that there was a rape.
This is why it was so important for the defense to put out the recently filed motions and information that no lax players' DNA was in or on her but that of five other men were.
Yeah, the pregnancy gave Liefong a second bite at the apple, but he's going to have to "spit it out", too.
Not as a paternity matter, but as a continuation of DNA testing ordered under the Non-Testimonial Order for evidentiary purposes, I believe he can. But if he does, he'll have to disclose those results. Even if he samples the baby, Mangum willing, to see if there's a chance of a genetic marker match with any of the three boys, it would have to be disclosed because it would still be a comparison.
Liefong will either not do the test and let the suspicion hang out there, or he will try to do it on the sly.
And I saw where he said the pregnancy isn't related to this case. IOW she got pregnant AFTER that night, a while after. But when I wrote my earlier comment, we were all under the belief that she had given birth last night.
So I was imagining how Crystal herself could use the nine mo. pregnancy to back out of testifying (she could say she didn't want to hurt her baby's future by going to court to testify against the father of her baby, for rape...IOW, one of the LaCrosse players she accused). I did not say Nifong would try to use it in court.
Oh, never trust the Media, we learned once again.
The whole point is now moot with the true timeline info coming out.
Thanks. A big post coming soon before tonight is out. Please stand by...

If you're just coming around now marajade, you're worse off than I thought you were.
Maybe Nifong wants the DNA test on the baby to prove that it isn't HIS!
"She was in circulation behaving as she normally would for weeks maybe more than a month. Nifong had to get her off the street before she ruined his election chances."
I think you have nailed it.
Scuse me? The judge ordered the test. The defense asked for it....Nifong objected....judge smacked him down. Paternity testing will be done.
I assume that you would do a pregnancy test prior to handing out an abortificant(?) in case she was already pregnant.
But it may prevent you from going to jail!!
I understand that marajade was here, as I boiled over the ridiculous turns the threads took at that time.
From what I've read here.....the morning after pill doesn't cause an abortion. Just prevents the pregnancy....

Right but it may have undesirable effects on a fetus or unborn child.
No problem, I was just pointing out that settling is not always easy and Nifong would not have let this case go away until he won the election.
Howlin, I've got a funny feeling about this whole damned thing, and I don't like it. Nifong, his allies, the accuser, Duke U, the MSM have done a royally evil and wicked thing. A non-AMERICAN thing. And now the liar has given birth to the "new son of America's truth to power"?
Hairs are tickling up and down the back of my neck.
This whole thing stinks so bad, Islamofascists have got to be sticking their fingers in the wind saying: Hmm... broiled Constitution with Lamb -- what a feast!
