LOS ANGELES (CBSNewYork/AP) — Derrick Rose is set to testify again Tuesday in a $21.5 million civil lawsuit that alleges the Knicks star and two friends raped an incapacitated woman.
Before Rose retakes the stand, a judge will first consider a mistrial request from Rose’s lawyer, who said the woman’s attorneys had failed to reveal a profane text message that was relevant to the case before the trial began.
Sexual text messages were at the center of Rose’s first day of testimony on Friday, when the plaintiffs’ attorneys called him as a hostile witness to help make the case that the woman never gave consent to have sex with him and his longtime friends and assistants, Randall Hampton and Ryan Allen.
