In reply to the discussion: Online outrage over Ohio rape case prompts city website [View all]happyslug
(14,779 posts)83. That is NOT what the Witnesses testified at the preliminary hearing
Preliminary hearing on October 14, 2012:
When the group left that home, he claimed the alleged victim went willingly to a second house in Steubenville, but that she did appear to be drunk.
During cross-examination, Witness #5 testified that he never heard the alleged victim say "No."
She (the alleged victim) voluntarily got herself intoxicated," said Walter Madison, attorney for one of the teen defendants. "She voluntarily got into this vehicle. She voluntarily gave up the pass code after the allegations of these sex crimes that she could not consent to. Not once did you hear her say or any state witness today say she didn't want to do it."
