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.

Are you are saying she's given birth to a preemie?

[thinking]

I agree with you: it is open season on white males, young men would well be advised, to have a beer on Friday night and watch some football on the TV...stay loose until they have completed their education, and then only marry laterally, not up, and not down..

[Guenevere]

say what?

She hasn't given birth.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

You have a very bright, intelligent daughter. I'm glad she loves my home town. It's a great university and she will have an exquisite education when done. Good job, Mom!

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Okay, how long have you been advising my son? :-) That's what he's been doing, although he has recently met a very lovely (I mean gorgeous) young lady from MIZZOU who is pre-law, and they are beginning the dance of young hearts. I was thrilled that he has the courage to get involved, that tells me that he will survive. In the midst of all the ugliness, there is always something to renew the hope of the young -- and the young at heart -- me.

Just in case it hasn't been posted, or some didn't see it yet:

From KC Johnson's D-I-W:

Best line of the day went to Jim Cooney. Before the session started, defense gave material to Nifong, who awkwardly attempted to joke, "Maybe it has your DNA on it.”

Cooney responded, “Maybe. Just make sure we get it in writing.”

Zing!! lol

[Constitutions Grandchild]

They're replaying Jaki's tears on Shep Smith. She said, "It brought our family together...," it's funny how hitting the lottery will do that. You'll find family members you never even knew you had and then some.

[Alia]

Why is this issue being raised NOW? Who found out? That's what I don't yet understand.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

No, just a bunch of misinformation, as usual. Reports got out that she had already delivered, but she hasn't. It was reported that she delivered on the 13th or 14th, but she isn't due until Feb. 1, according to Nifong. What am I saying, "according to Nifong." That guy hasn't gotten anything straight since the get-go, but that's what he said in court today.

Locomotive Breath was there and will be providing a recap later tonight. There's no way a paternity test will do squat, as there is no indication that this could have been the result of the alleged rape. I guess the Defense is getting out ahead of the curve by asking for a test to 100% clear any suspicion.

I did not see a ping on this - so apologize in advance if it's already been beaten to death:

Paternity Test Ordered in Duke Lacrosse Rape Case

Durham — The judge presiding over the the Duke University lacrosse rape case on Friday approved a paternity test for the three indicted players and the accuser.

WRAL confirmed Thursday that the accuser is pregnant and was admitted to a University of North Carolina hospital. WRAL also reported that she had delivered the baby Thursday night based on information from sources who have been reliable in the past. This time they were incorrect. WRAL has since learned that the accuser is not due to deliver until February.

[TommyDale]

If the baby is due February 1, 2007 then the conception date would have been May 11, 2006 !

She was probably dancing/"escorting" at that time. Why would the defense even care about a paternity suit if that is the case?

[Alia]

Thank you.

So, someone at the hospital or someone close to CGM 'leaked' the information of this event to the MSM who got only a "straight" (non definitive) answer from, say, Hospital person, and the MSM went up a cliff and...

I think you are right; and it's a very wise move.

Greta van Sustern's interview with the cousin, Jaki, left me with the impression that Crystal's family believes the pregnancy is the result of the rape. Jaki kept saying, "She didn't deserve this...she just didn't deserve this." Well, I suppose Crystal had other ideas. She apparently had no difficulty copulating subsequent to the alleged rape. I don't see how this will ultimately affect the trial, but I guess there are still people out there who believe babies can come at any time 5 mos., 9 mos. or 11 mos. gestation.

Pardon my cynism, but if one ever gets exposed to anti-religious tracts, they are led to believe... that Mary was raped, That Joseph and Mary were "homeless"... -- and that all of this is just in time for Christmas, aka ("their meaning of the "reason for the season".) Everything about this damned case is just so textbook marxist socialism a la book of common rhetoric as echoed by the MSM choir. Bah!

[nopardons]

Correct!

[Constitutions Grandchild]

I agree about the case being directly from the Marxist playbook. When you can haul anyone in on the unfounded word of a random individual, go to trial and risk it all, it's spot on from the Communists. Additionally, when you can be arrested for what used to be boorish behavior or making crimes for being tasteless or crude or expressing an opinion or whatever -- that's straight from the manifesto, as well. You have to have some way to marginalize decent people -- make everything a crime and you have the upper hand.

[Alia]

Yep. "1984".

[marajade]

Thanks.

It has helped gain sympathy with some folks to avoid jail or get less of it.
