Reply #72: From a criminology perspective, they're right to say that.

DNA from the house where the party occurred would be suspect because of the known presence of the players, unless it was of an incriminating nature. An example of the latter would be blood from the dancer, or blood mixed with semen, or the like. An example of the former would be semen from one of the players, which could be explained by a number of scenarios none of which require raping the dancer.

Unless something significant turns up in the house, the only hard evidence would be what was recovered from the dancer's body. Also, we have to assume that there was DNA evidence recovered from the dancer, otherwise there would have been nothing to compare the team's samples to. If that DNA isn't from any of the team members, who is it from? Unless you can identify that person and establish that they were present at the house that night, you have reasonable doubt sitting on a silver platter.
