Semen: Why is this important

Hi Jeff

I asked a law professor friend about importance of semen stains. He =s very smart. Hias answer below

DSK's defense will be :

1. Diallo is a prostitute and consensually fellated him, and got pissed =ff when there was no money there. DSK will assert that he thought somebody else was paying for it, as he is a man who goes through life having other people pick up the bill, just as the hotel was comping =im, essentially, for the suite.

If DSK can identify the other people who stayed in the suite, and ejeculated there, particularly those whose semen is mixed with saliva, =e can ask them whether their encounters were with prostitutes provided by =he hotel, evidence that will be relevant in proving that, at very =east, DSK's testimony that this hotel provides prostitutes to favored =ustomers is credible.

Then DSK's defense will be that, even if Diallo wasn't a prostitute, =or if the jury isn't persuaded by the evidence that she was) he DSK did =ot "forcibly compel" he to fellate him. He simply assumed that she was willing, because he thought she was a pro. ; and she never said no, perhaps because she thought, as an immigrant, that this was something =he was required to do to keep her job. If he used no force, and she never said or implied no, he certainly did not do a crime, and probably not a =ort either.

2. realistically, the hotel will do all in its power to keep its high level guests from being subpoenaed to provide DNA to see whether the =perm is on the wall or rug, or even to have the full list of registrants =ver the past X number of years revealed so that lawyers can interview them =ne by one. Publicity about the fact that hotel rooms are coated in sperm isn't good for the hotel brand. Will the hotel not, then, ante up some money as part of a settlement with Diallo? I'd advise them to.

Here is the story from prosecutor's report.

1. 5 stains were found on carpet. Only one stain, 6-8 feet from place Diallo said the attack took place, contained dna traces from dsk semen =nd diallo saliva.

2. 3 other stains contained semen and dna of 3 other unidentified =ales, and one stain contained amylase and a mixture of dna from 3 additional unknown individuals. The stain on wall paper contained the semen and =na of a fourth unknown male.

3. None of these other stains contained dna from eitherf dsk or diallo.

So why is item #2 and #3 important?

(Amylase is present in human saliva . So it indicated some spit)
