Why is this case still getting so much attention. We know from their own admittance that those assholes raped her then let her out the car in the middle of the road to get ran over and killed.

we also know from her sorority sisters that this wasn't uncommon behavior for her. doesn't change the fact that they are guilty.

it sucks for the family but there is no saving her "character" at this point anyway. not sure why some folks on this board are simping for her so hard.

Might be hoping she sent a text along the lines of "I'm going to get plastered and hook up with a rando".

Probably won't find it but it's the only way to get around her blood alcohol level.

Yes. They admitted to having sex with a person who was three times the legal drunkenness limit. She couldn’t decline anything. This is an open and shut case.

because it involves a somewhat attractive little white girl and some black kids. If she hadn't have been drunk as shite and hit by a car, nobody would care.


The first part is you projecting, the second part is why this is a story. She’s dead. If she hadn’t have been killed by a car, it wouldn’t be a story.

I don't remember the facts specifically, but I think the driver said he thought he saw them having sex, but I'm not sure if the 2 accused of doing the actual rape ever admitted to it.

Prosecution has to turn over any exculpatory evidence they may have this her cell phone data. Can be a mistrial if they don't.

I thought they had video of them admitting she was super drunk and they were gonna have sex with her? Or am I making that up?

Not really that big of a gotcha as you think it is.

I think that's what I remember.

The fact that there was no real DNA is going to create a lot of holes if Carver is the only one who saw/said that stuff on video. That's why he's asking for his co-defendant's phones I imagine, to see what they said about it after the fact.

If I recall the no real DNA report was from the autopsy and not when she first arrived at the hospital. Wasn't there a few days from her being brought into the hospital and her being pronounced dead?

I can't comment on the holes in the investigation, only the ones in the prosecution/theory.

I really feel for the Brooks family in this case. They already lost their daughter... now they have to listen to the defense dismantle her character and they can't do anything about it. I could never in a million years be a criminal defense attorney.

no. they kept her body hooked up to machines as they waited for her father to fly in. If they had taken her off of life support, they could not harvest the organs. unfortunately, I know this

At what point will a judge allow any cell phone "evidence" beyond that night to be allowed in court? I've heard cases where events that occurred the night of were used to character smear but nothing beyond that.

What would the 72 hours before on her cell prove? Sounds like someone got to the judge. More crooked BR bullshite, it seems.


The specifics re this case were pointed out earlier but this is really the type of case the defense has a right to know just in a general sense. If there is nothing admissible (ie all irrelevant) then it should not be allowed to be presented to the jury.

I will give a hyperbolic example of something that could be highly relevant: 30 minutes before leaving the bar she sends a text to a friend that states I found the guy that dumped Heather and I am going to drop rape charges on him and his a-hole friends. The chances of that being the case are 1 in billions but there is a chance something is in her phone that changes the reasonable view of the events that led up to her death. The defense has a right to determine if there is anything admissible/relevant in her phone.

Alleged rape victims always get smeared in civil or criminal cases up to the edge of turning off the jury. tOT is very good at doing it when they feel more sympathy for the accused.
