“It absolutely does not match” any of the players, Meehan said of the sample from Mangum’s underwear. He said he explained that to Nifong at the April 10 meeting.
The nature of this profile says there is likely to be more than one contributor, he says. Here we’re talking about comedian Dennis Miller’s characterization of Mangum as “a Louvre of DNA.”
Did you explain this to Nifong?: “We probably did. We talked at length about this.”
Williamson: Probably or for sure?
Meehan: We talked about the profiles, characterized them, talked about limitations. Feels sure he told Nifong all this.
Looking at 210B, rectal swab from Mangum. Question: Did that indicate any male DNA? Meehan: Yes. Says not enough info to match a player but enough for exclusionary purposes. Says not a match to any reference player specimens.
Two of the panel judges seem impressed by this and ask for clarification. Wondering: Don’t they read the news?
