I’m speculating but here’s how it could
be possible. First specimen was taken as soon as she arrived in the ED. Second specimen was taken after she received a liter or 2 of IVF. This should not be hard to determine provided the collection times were accurately documented.

It’s very clear nakamoto is on the side of the rapists. It’s like he slants his reports to make everyone believe the way he does. From his interviews with the defense attorneys to this.
Also, let’s not forget the dna expert who is also defending one of the rapists telling us the case should be dismissed.

WRBZ article just released.
Claims the BAC was 12% lower than expected and that the dna of the 4 arrested was not found inside her. Dna of one of them was found on outside of her genital area.

I tried to tell y'all in real time this wasn't going to be a easy as y'all thought. This is really bad for the prosecution. Physical evidence is 100x stronger than testimony and they can't prove intercourse happened.

First degree rape requires rape, which is defined as:

quote:

A. Rape is the act of anal, oral, or vaginal sexual intercourse with a male or female person committed without the person's lawful consent.

B. Emission is not necessary, and any sexual penetration, when the rape involves vaginal or anal intercourse, whether the penetration is accomplished using the genitals of the offender or victim or using any instrumentality and however slight, is sufficient to complete the crime.


Without DNA the prosecution cannot prove penetration.

It becomes a question of reasonableness, and without DNA 1000 reasonable scenarios without penetration just entered the chat.

I think it’s safe to assume that the defense is only going to leak evidence that helps their case, no? So we don’t really know what other physical evidence the prosecution has.

Speaking of which, I wonder how the judge will react to the defense leaking discovery materials to the media. Didn’t they already get their hands slapped once?

I’m not sure I agree with that. They have the defendants admitting there was intercourse. The lawyers stood on the courthouse steps and had a press conference and said there was consensual intercourse. Now they are going to try and say no sex happened at all.

Also, I imagine here, a rape kit wasn’t performed until the next day. She was hit at 2:50 am January 15. At that point she’s just a drunk girl hit by a car. Police have no reason to suspect sexual assault.

January 16 police talk to Carver and he tells them she was raped by the two dudes. That’s probably 30+ hours after the rape. I’m sure they will be able to explain the delay in doing the rape kit and how that could impact results. Also, may be a process for harvesting her organs that could hav compromised available DNA on her body.

I think given their own statements and the statements of their lawyers on the courthouse steps it would be stupid to try and deny sex even happened at this point. They are better still arguing consent (especially if they can convince people she chased after them when leaving the bar).

Once they try and deny sex at trial, they cant be like well, just kidding she consented.

I'm pretty interested to hear what reasonable alternatives the defense could try to come up with.

This. Those a-hole lawyers are trying this case in public, hoping to get potential jurors on their side.

Fricking shysters should be disbarred.

Exactly. It would have been better for the defense if the accused and their lawyers just remained silent. The attorneys have said publicly, several times, that sex DID happen. And said so on video.

Which leads me to believe there is in fact a video of the incident.

Prosecutors objected, and played evidence that they said showed the crime being committed: recordings Casen John Carver and others made standing outside the car and then in the driver's seat. The videos showed a man and a woman having sex in the back seat; their faces were not visible, but a sheriff's office detective testified it was Carter and Brooks.

In one of the videos, a woman could be heard yelling "get off" as loud music blared and other men in the car cheered. In another video, Carter was shown holding a gun and dancing; prosecutors said the video was taken minutes after Brooks was dropped off after the rape. It was not clear who took that video.


quote:

Assistant District Attorney Kathleen Barrios presented the judge a slideshow of photos and videos that showed the four men leaving Reggie’s with Madison Brooks early the morning of Jan. 15.

Snapchat images on the defendants’ phones showed Carter escorting Brooks to Carver’s car with his arm around her shoulder as Lee followed closely behind, Barrios said.

Sheriff’s Office detective Lt. Tarik Mokdaf said he used security cameras from nearby businesses to track Carver’s car from the Tigerland bar. The group pulled into a residential driveway down the road in the 900 block of Jennifer Jean Drive and parked there for about 20 minutes. Mokdaf said that’s where the rape ensued and the defendants filmed several videos.

The detective indicated Washington could be seen on at least one of the recordings sitting in the back seat with his arm around Brooks. Carter appeared to be having sex with her in multiple recordings, the detective said.

Mokdaf said detectives seized the videos from the defendants’ cell phones and social media pages.

An employee from Reggie’s sent Carver a text message Jan. 15 asking him for the names and phone numbers of the men Brooks was seen leaving the bar with; that's when the four defendants began discussing her death in a Snapchat group chat and coming up with a story for authorities, prosecutors said.

If this is true, the defense had better get ready to start plea bargaining for the least amount of jail time for their clients.

And why would they be stupid enough to film such a thing? I mean, let's say she lives and decides to go to the police later on. Normally, it would be a he said/she said case. But with film evidence, the prosecution has a much stronger case. And deleting it from your phone doesn't work because deleted messages and videos can be recovered. Plus, deleting things makes you look more guilty.

Her dad is suing the bar, LYFT and the 4 defendants. While he may get money from LYFT and the bar, I doubt the 4 defendants can come up with $20 between the 4 of them.
