The Resurrected Duke Lacrosse Team Rape Returns! No DNA... umm... Again.
Topic: Sports

It's been weeks since we've heard any word from the Duke lacrosse team scandal that has been worth reporting. The last releases that came from anybody were just normal attorney blow-hardiness. But today, something has changed.

The DNA found in a vaginal swap of the supposed victim was from her boyfriend, not any of the Duke lacrosse team players. Whoops.

"Once again, a DNA report indicated not a smattering, not a spider web of indication that there was any DNA from those boys," attorney Wade Smith said.

Also, the DNA that was found under a press on fingernail in a waste can of the boys' bathroom also didn't have any link, even though, as was pointed out, the basket was full of Kleenex and tissue from countless other people. Also, the team members pointed out that they noticed the fingernail and would give it to the police if they would like it, which doesn't exactly seem to be rapist sort of behavior.

So despite this evidence and the alleged changes in times of the stories of both dancers, as well as photographic and DNA evidence seeming to exonerate the team members, the case continues. We'll continue the updates as we find them.
