Hollywood teen rape suspect demands proof of guilt in court outburst

The last of five defendants in the brutal rape of a Hollywood teenager showed no interest Thursday in accepting a plea deal to resolve the case.

"Why would I take something if I'm innocent?" Jayvon Woolfork, 20, told Broward Circuit Judge Lisa Porter. "That would be stupid."

Woolfork, who is accused of raping a 16-year-old girl at his Hollywood home on Nov. 1, 2013, appeared defiant in court, challenging prosecutor Maria Schneider to prove his guilt.

"What evidence do you have? Where's the evidence at? Where's the DNA?" he said. When Schneider reminded the judge that Woolfork gave police a taped confession, Woolfork didn't back down.
