A key hearing today in the Duke Lacrosse case:

The motion, filed in Durham County Superior Court, also asks the judge to throw out the photographic lineup procedure that was the basis for the state's case. And it followed a defense motion Wednesday that attacked the handling of DNA evidence.

If the motions succeed, the attorneys for three indicted former lacrosse players would undermine the foundation of District Attorney Mike Nifong's case. The motions attack the key weaknesses the defense has raised about Nifong's case -- a questionable lineup, the lack of physical evidence and whether the accuser is a reliable witness.

Yesterday we learned that DNA from "several males" was found "in the accuser's body and her underwear" - none of which matched any player from the Duke lacrosse team. Today the news is that the accuser is pregnant and "due to give birth any day."
