Gail Horne Ray will surely be taken off this case. She’s already ruled that some evidence can be used in the trial only for an appellate court to rule that it can’t. So she’s already seen evidence that can’t be used but will surely influence her judgement.
That’s not going to get her removed.

Haven’t they ruled that her sexual history isn’t relevant?
Btw the perp has a good lawyer how is he paying for this?

Maybe not that alone but her previous rulings and personal relationships with a rapist should be enough. She’s shown a clear bias toward those with rape charges.

As it should be…there is enough blame to go around to everyone involved.
A bit unusual that you think trials should be brutal for parents of a victim (which is who the comment was made about). I’ve seen some harsh comments on the OT, but this is up there with the harshest.

Yeah I don’t get the hate here. Unless they’re just victim blaming. I don’t know how this can be pinned on the girl at all. She was shite faced, raped, and left for dead.

District Attorney Hillar Moore said his office is strongly considering filing a motion for recusal under seal to have Judge Gail Horne Ray removed from the Madison Brooks’ case.
It comes after an impromptu court hearing on Thursday, where Casen Carver waived his right to a jury trial, allowing Judge Ray to be the sole arbiter of his fate.
quote:
Because of that court’s ruling that certain evidence should not be brought up at trial, Moore said his office is strongly considering filing a motion tomorrow under seal to have Judge Ray taken off the case.
Moore said Judge Ray made rulings about certain pieces of evidence in this case that the First Circuit said could not be brought up.
“It’s hard to unring that bell,” Moore told the WAFB I-TEAM.
Pretty weak.
The legislature already gutted the jury waiver a few years ago and now Moore wants to set the precedent that a proper waiver done within the restricted, pro-prosecution timeline can be cause to recuse a judge who has heard motion practice in the case prior? That's a bit too much.

Don't disparage AI like that, it can at least cite it's ghost cases properly.

Drunk girls can’t consent. And leaving her for dead doesn’t exactly help the case. Absolutely disgusting to blame the girl in this scenario. Come on people.

The 19th is lost. Total shitbag judges.

Four Democrats are facing off for the seat that became vacant on the 19th Judicial District Court after Judge Wilson Fields resigned to move to the state's 1st Circuit Court of Appeal in March. The candidates running to be one of the 15 judges on the 19th Judicial District bench, which serves East Baton Rouge Parish, are Dele Adebamiji, Elzie Alford Jr., Vicky Jones and Vernon Thomas.

Mr. Adebamiji is a very nice gentleman. He has the temperament needed to be a judge.

No one is blaming her.
But how many of us hooked up with drunk as shite girls in college…?
Does that make all of these people “rapists”?
Now dropping her off can be debated, but we have no idea if she demanded
To get out, thought she was at a friends and wondered off, etc.

more on the 19th JDC...it could get better or it could get A LOT worse
quote:the grifters, hyphenated nepo babies and southern law center graduates will be coming out of the woodwork to run next year
The East Baton Rouge district court he left behind is on the precipice of what could be a major overhaul. All 15 judges on the 19th JDC bench will be up for re-election next year, meaning they must mount campaigns to retain their seats unless they face no opposition. Four of the judges will be over the age of 70, meaning they’re restricted from seeking another term unless Louisiana voters approve a constitutional amendment in April that proposes to raise the state-mandated retirement age for judges to 75.

Not an attorney, but as I understand it, it all depends on the circumstances. Any form of serious loss of motor control, disorientation, incapacitation, or unconsciousness usually means someone is not legally capable of giving consent, even if the person verbally did say yes. Consent is also considered to be "ongoing". That is, a person can legally consent at one point but then becomes incapacitated during the act. In that case, consent is no longer possible and you put yourself at risk if you do continue. I personally think the defense is going to have an uphill climb with the official BAC of 0.319 or whatever it was. That's considered very close to alcohol poisoning in most cases.
As far as your questions, yes, some people are probably unwittingly rapists according to the law.

Smart move. Progressive judges love rape, especially raping of white women.
He will likely get off.
Have OT Moderates and Progressives on this board started go fund me's yet for these fine young men?
