wyers for former Bulls player Derrick Rose and two friends accused of raping an incapacitated woman doubled down Wednesday on their assertions that the accuser willingly had sex with the trio, saying she performed sex acts on the men earlier that night at Rose's mansion in Beverly Hills.

 

In sharp contrast to the opening statement from the woman's lawyer who called the case a "classic gang rape," the defense described a scene for jurors in Los Angeles federal court that sounded like a porn movie. They said the woman performed lap dances by a pool earlier in the night at Rose's place, had sex with two of them and then invited them back to her apartment.

 

"There was no gang rape," attorney Mike Monico said. "There was no rape at all."

 

The woman's lawyer said the story about her having sex earlier in the night was false and concocted to try to show she was insatiable and wanted to have sex with the men later that night. He said the three got into her apartment after she passed out from drinking and raped her while she faded in and out of consciousness.

 

"The plaintiff will tell you all three men were in the bedroom at the same time," attorney Waukeen McCoy said. "Each of them took turns raping her, they don't even know who went first."

 

As the incident was graphically described and jurors looked on with pained expressions, the 30-year-old woman leaned forward so her long dark hair covered her face and dabbed at her eyes with tissues.

 

The Associated Press is not naming her because it generally does identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault.

 

The jury of six women and two men will have to decide if the accuser consented to sex or was too intoxicated to do so.

 

Jurors will have to rely primarily on her word against that of Rose and the other two men. There is no physical evidence because the woman was not examined by a doctor afterward and did not report the rape to police for two years — after filing the $21 million suit.

Of course this is how he handled that. We should all see these things coming.

During a break in testimony, a lawyer for the two friends objected to the woman's amount of crying and asked the judge to order her to not cry.

 

The judge said he was unaware of courts that have ordered witnesses to not to cry.

 

"I'm not going to order the witness not to cry any more than I'm going to order her not to breathe," said U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald.

Thank god this turd is gone. I was about to say I hope he's playing in Siberia next year but that's only if he's not in jail. Good riddance!

[Derwood]

It was fun to make fun of him for being a harmless idiot while he was on the Bulls, but now that he's a harmful idiot, I hope he falls off the planet

So one of the two main investigators in this case has been found dead from a gunshot wound.

This is insane.

[Banedon]

I mean, from the sounds of it, it may have been a suicide?

It looks like a suicide, but Rose probably forgot to leave the gun.

[Sammy Sofa]

This would have made the best ripped from the headlines episode of Law & Order EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

[Old Style]

As seen on Twitter: "Maybe Derrick Rose is a better shooter than I thought."

[Banedon]

Verdict about to be read.

[Banedon]

Waiting on Rose to show up.

[Banedon]

Rose not liable on all counts.

wow

[Cubswin11]

Hopefully the criminal investigation finds enough to take him to court. Even if he is innocent, who poses for pictures like that after a case like this? He's just so [expletive] stupid

[Derwood]

This judge and jury seem like they took the case very seriously and were not at all influenced by Rose's celebrity status
