- <p> EXONERATED. DERRICK COLEMAN, 27, pro-basketball star; of charges
- of rape; in Detroit. The New Jersey Nets forward had been under
- a cloud since July 15, when a 22-year-old woman claimed that
- he raped her in a Detroit hotel. Now Wayne County prosecutor
- John O'Hair has revealed that DNA testing of a semen sample
- taken from the woman conclusively eliminated Coleman as the
- source. Coleman, the highest-paid player in the N.B.A., has
- filed a $10,000 civil suit against his accuser.
