Did New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose commit the civil equivalent of rape when he had intercourse with an intoxicated woman back in August of 2013?
A yet-to-be-selected jury is poised to answer that question over the next several days. Barring a last-minute financial settlement reached between Rose and his accuser, Rose and two co-defendants, Randall Hampton and Ryan Allen, are scheduled to go trial at 8:30 am PT on Tuesday. Their case will be presided over by U.S. District judge Michael Fitzgerald and heard in Courtroom No. 1600 of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division, in downtown Los Angeles.
