Here's what I know so far, and then you'll know what my opinion is without me even needing to say it...
This is a screen shot of the docket, sorry, I'm so bad at resizing things properly. You can see the rest of the docket if you go to www.dccourts.gov and under Superior Court, click on criminal. On the far right then you will see "Court cases online"-- click on that, and then click on "search cases" and enter Matthew Maldonado (below) or Nicholas Shultz.
But as of today, the government is continuing to put on their case in chief (i.e. their initial go-round of evidence as opposed to a rebuttal case, which would be countering the defense evidence.) It looks like the defense is at least planning on calling Nyjah Easton and "Master" Donnie, as well as some doctors/shrink type people. The defense argued a motion to keep the survivor from testifying, but lost, and I believe she has already testified or may be continuing in her testimony today.
I am talking with people who have friends watching the trial-- again that attenuated link chain-- and I'm told that the cell phone footage Matthew took and shared around at the Jungle House afterwards was very persuasive and made it clear she was not consenting. I did hear from more than one source that she can be heard saying "no" and "don't" and "stop" (and no, for the clowns in the peanut gallery-- not "Don't stop!")
But that's the root of my rant today.
That cell phone video was (I'm told by many) shown around at the Jungle House afterwards.
HOW MANY PEOPLE WATCHED A RAPE ON A TEAMMATE'S CELL PHONE AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT?
