Appearing for Bryant's legal team, Elizabeth Johnson, a forensic DNA expert, testified that Mr. X's DNA was found in the young woman's purple underwear she had on June 30, 2003, when she encountered Bryant at a posh Eagle County resort and in the yellow underwear she wore to her rape exam. Mr. X's DNA also was found in swabs taken from other parts of her body, according to the testimony.
Bryant's DNA was found in the woman's purple underwear but not the yellow underwear she wore to the exam at a Glenwood Springs hospital about 15 hours after being with Bryant, Johnson testified under questioning by Hal Haddon, Bryant's attorney.
The Eagle County district attorney's office wants to explain the presence of Mr. X's DNA by saying that the woman put on the yellow underwear that already had a "dry semen stain" in them, Johnson said. But that "transfer theory" is "extremely far-fetched," Johnson said, because the alleged victim had semen on her inner thigh in three circles, as well as inside her body.

Remember the O.J. trial joke "not guilty by reason of celebrity" ?
