Given his need to get out of the McCoy house -- by the prosecution's own scenario, Coleman showered later, not at the McCoy's -- there should have been traces of semen in his underwear and on his wash cloth. There weren't. The prosecution claimed that Coleman waded through a 10-in.-deep creek, a charge it supported by pointing out that the legs of his jeans were wet.
