Duke Lacrosse Accuser Pregnant, No Delivery Yet
Update: The accuser is not due until February. Paternity tests have been ordered at the request of the defense. Nifong says he has no reason to believe any of the players are the father.
[Added: The following appears to be incorrect]
The accuser in the Duke Lacrosse alleged rape case gave birth on Thursday.
The 29-year-old gave birth nine months after she alleges she was raped by three Duke University lacrosse players at a March 13 team party.
Added: The following still seems valid:
....A defense attorney tells WRAL that a test taken at the hospital showed that she was not pregnant at the time of the party and that she was given emergency contraception commonly referred to as the morning-after pill.
While no semen from any of those accused as found in her body, male DNA from multiple other sources was.
In other Duke case news, the defense filed a great motion to suppress the accuser's eyewitness identification of the players today. It's 46 pages and available here.
There are more internal inconsistencies in this case than in any other rape case I can remember reading about. A hearing is scheduled for tomorrow.
There's a lot of discussion about today's developments going on at the TalkLeft Duke Forums.
