Forensic scientist Patricia Taylor says Thomas' sperm was found on the Radford teenagers thigh. She told jurors today that his saliva was also on a cigarette butt near Munsey's body and his cells found under her fingernails and on her clothes matched his D-N-A.
On cross examination Taylor told defense attorney Mike Barbour that at least one other person's D-N-A was found on Munsey's body and clothes.
Barbour says that could mean samples were contaminated.
Two days of scientific testimony have been difficult for Munsey's family.

Santana High will reopen tomorrow for a day of "support" for students

and 13 more wounded. 15 year old freshman Charles "Andy" Williams
allegedly came to school Monday with a .22 caliber pistol and took aim a
fellow students, apparently selecting his victims at random.

"They dont know if he was mad at school, mad at life, mad at home. He
was an angry young man."
Last night police searched the apartment where Williams lived with his
father where they removed rifles, a computer and several boxes of
evidence. The murder weapon was part of a collection of guns in the
apartment but secured with lock and key. A former girl friend could not
explain the violent outburst.

Williams is now being held in a juvenile facility awaiting arraignment.
Under Callifornia law he will be charged as an adult with murder,

Dick Cheney spent less than 24 hours at a Washington hospital. Doctors
fixed a damaged artery that started to close up three months after his
surgery to unblock it.
SOT: "HOW ARE YOU FEELING?" "Good."
Political Washington is responding to the Vice President's release with
much relief.
SOT Bush: "He's needed. This country needs his wisdom and judgment. And
he's the kind of man who listens carefully to his body and he is not
going to put himself in a position where he gets very sick."
SOT: Sen. Trent Lott/R-Majority Leader: "I'm just glad he keeps an eye
out for any feeling of a problem, because he's doing a good job and we
really need him."
The White House was quick to reassure the public that this was not a
heart attack, adding in a statement (GRAPHIC) that this was a common
procedure and not a progression of his heart disease.
(NAT DOC)
Cheney's doctors feel confident the Vice President will be able to stay
on the job, and haven't placed any work restrictions on him... good news
because he's got a lot of work ahead.
SOT: Stuart Rothenberg/Political Analyst: "His absence at this time is
critical, because the Bush's agenda's coming to the Hill, he's got tax
cuts, education, the President's going to have to finesse John McCain on
campaign finance reform, and so you need Cheney there NOW!"
STAND-UP: Cheney's chronic heart problems pose a special concern becasue
he plays such an active role in this administration, but like his
doctors, the Bush administration remains optimistic that Cheney's heart
will keep improving.

Also don't let the name fool you...kitten rescue also encourages the adoption of adult cats. While many people say kittens are cute, adult cats can be a lot easier to live with.
