After Knicks guard Derrick Rose and two associates were found not liable in a civil sexual assault lawsuit on Wednesday, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald made a joke about the team, according to the New York Post.
“Best wishes,” Fitzgerald told Rose. “Except when the Knicks play the Lakers.”
Jane Doe, the plaintiff, accused Rose and two friends of raping her at her apartment in Los Angeles in the summer of 2013. She filed civil suit two years after the alleged assault. Doe has remained anonymous in the media to protect her identity.
