Newspaper: DNA Evidence May Link Duke Lacrosse Player to Rape
Thursday, May 11, 2006
DURHAM, N.C. — New DNA evidence may link a Duke University lacrosse player to an exotic dancer who claims she was raped in the team's house, a Durham newspaper reported Wednesday.
Citing "several well-placed sources," The Herald Sun of Durham, N.C., reported that tissue collected from under the alleged victim's fingernail might match a player who was at the team party where the attack supposedly occurred.
The paper reported that sources told it that scientists said the evidence came "from the same genetic pool and was 'consistent' with the bodily makeup of one of 46 lacrosse players" who were tested in the case. Scientists were able to rule out the other 45 players who were tested, the paper reported.
Officials told FOX News that an indictment on the third suspect could come as soon as Monday.
But the sources added that because a complete DNA pattern was not obtained from the tissue itself, it was not possible to match it with the usual near-100 percent certainty.......http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,195078,00.html
"the evidence came "from the same genetic pool"
Don't we all?
