Ex-NFL player has conviction for rape of a disabled woman overturned due to racial bias

Former NFL defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield’s rape conviction was overturned by an appellate court on Thursday, court documents show.
quote:
Stubblefield was convicted in 2020 of raping a woman who interviewed to babysit his kids in Morgan Hill in 2015 and was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison. His lawyers, however, have used the California Racial Justice Act of 2020 to overturn the conviction.
quote:
The court overturned the conviction, saying prosecutors had said that police never searched Stubblefield’s Morgan Hill home (and never found any guns) in part because of Stubblefield’s race.
The prosecutor gave three reasons as to why the home was never searched: because Doe hadn’t identified Stubblefield, because Stubblefield is a celebrity, and because he is African-American. The trial happened weeks after the murder of George Floyd, and the prosecutor said searching Stubblefield’s home would “open up a storm of controversy.”
Stubblefield claims that the prosecutor’s statement used his race against him and appealed to racial biases.
“The statement implied the house might have been searched and a gun found had Stubblefield not been Black, and that Stubblefield therefore gained an undeserved advantage at trial because he was a Black man,” court documents stated.
The court determined that the conviction was “legally invalid” due to the Racial Justice Act. The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office can now decide whether to re-prosecute the case.

Why did it take 5 years from the rape to the trial?

Another huge win for women's rights.
Good job, Democrats.

Beautiful. He got an unfair advantage when they didn’t search his house because he’s black, and now he gets a rape conviction overturned because he’s black.
Looks like that Racial Justice Act really provides justice.

Imagine being a straight white male and voting for Gavin Newsom in 2028.

So black people are given carte blanche to rape people in Cali

So they didn’t search his house because h’s black, and even without searching it they got a conviction, but because they didn’t search his house because he’s black the conviction got overturned, ultimately because he’s black.

I came to post a summary like this, but you nailed it nicely. The mental gymnastics it took to come up with this overturned conviction is truly astonishing.

So did he or did he not rape the lady?
Did he rape her with a gun?

So the rape happened in 2015, so I’m assuming the investigation happened shortly thereafter after or before 2020 when he was convicted. So explain the following….

The trial happened weeks after the murder of George Floyd, and the prosecutor said searching Stubblefield’s home would “open up a storm of controversy.”
How the frick does this have any bearing on the case? The trial took place shortly after the George Floyd debacle. Why would you be searching a home 5 years after the crime, within weeks of the trial? At that point everything is in place for the trail. The defense has had all the access to the evidence and time to prepare a defense.
This might be the single biggest retarded reasoning for overturning a conviction I’ve ever seen. A judge literally bought “the conviction was racially biased your honor because the prosecution didn’t execute a search warrant 5 years after the alleged incident and weeks before trial” defense.

Maybe searching his house might have yielded evidence favorable to him? Which doesn’t make sense bc his lawyer could have brought forward any such info.
Yeah this is dumb. This is California is action.

They never searched the home to begin with. The woman claimed Stubblefield raped her at gunpoint. Searching the house for the gun should have been done but they never did that for whatever reason. Then during the rape trial they said they never searched for the gun because they didn't want to appear racist (which is nonsense). They should have just said they had a positive rape kit and a credible witness that came forward right after it happened so they didn't think they needed the gun which probably would have been stashed or disposed of by then anyway.
Appellate Courts don't like to substitute their opinion for a jury but they probably didn't like the failure to search for the gun and hung their reasoning on racial justice nonsense.

In the American progressive religion, racism - the definition of which changes at a whim - is the worst sin imaginable. It’s worse than rape, murder, etc. which is reflected in cases like these.

Wait... so he was given an unfair advantage because of his race... STILL convicted despite the unfair advantage and THEN gets the conviction because he got... and unfair advantage?

I’m like did I read this right? He got an unfair advantage b/c he’s a celebrity and black. Got convicted anyway with the advantage.
And now it’s overturned just b/c he’s black?
If you are a former black nfl player, there are no rules for you in Cali.
