Duke lacrosse team rape accusations

I'm not sure this thread belongs in Tilted Sports, but let's start it here.

This thing is a mess... and it is interesting on many fronts. Here's what i'd like to start with.

Obviously, this is good example of why its not a great idea to 1) hire strippers for a party and/or 2) be a stripper for hire to private parties. Crazy things can, and do, happen.

Anyway, DNA evidence is a pretty new thing. Yesterday, when i heard that all the kids tested negative, i thought OK, good. Everybody' cleared. Today, i heard that the DA said, no... the DNA was not definitive and the case was going to continue.

So, help me, I'm confused. If you have to be guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt (think OJ), isn't a negative DNA test automatically, by definition, a significant doubt?

Thanks for listening.
