whoops, dna test results didn't match any of the players.

I heard that on the news.

If at all possible, those boys should take her to civil court and make sure she spends the rest of her life owing them every dime she makes.

Ever hear of a condom? While I'm not saying these boys did rape her, the prosecution says they have other evidence besides DNA.

but wouldn't they be comparing their dna to the dna taken from her body? otherwise what would be the point of a dna test?

I was listening to the news, and people were saying even if a condom was used, latex, DNA, and other indicators would've been present during the testing that would've been able to be used against the boys.

The only DNA evidence found was of two boys on the team...in their own bathroom.

Here's some stuff from the SI article:

"No DNA material from any young man was present on the body of this complaining woman," said defense attorney Wade Smith.

The alleged victim, a 27-year-old student at a nearby college, told police she and another woman were hired to dance at the party. The woman told police that three men at the party dragged her into a bathroom, choked her, raped her and sodomized her.

....

"They swabbed about every place they could possibly swab from her, in which there could be any DNA," he said.

Cheshire said even if the alleged attackers used a condom, it's likely there would have been some DNA evidence found suggesting an assault took place. He said in this case, the report states there was no DNA on her to indicate that she had sex of any type recently.

"The experts will tell you that if there was a condom used they would still be able to pick up DNA, latex, lubricant and all other types of things to show that -- and that's not here," Cheshire said.
