By the time the trial started, the accuser and her attorneys had done an excellent job manipulating the media and controlling the narrative, but when on the stand, the accuser whole story started to fall apart.
The web of lies she concocted over the past year just couldn’t stand up to the facts in the case.

One central theme from the accuser’s testimony is that she doesn’t remember what happened exactly. She claimed she was drunk or drugged, yet no drugs were ever found. The defense pointed out many times that the accuser sent perfectly clear texts and spoke multiple times to the defendants before they came over. The pointed out her last drink was at 11pm, but she claimed she passed out drunk several hours later after she invited Rose & his friends over. When asked how she did it, she would offer up she couldn’t remember.
Baute also shows text messages from morning of showing that the 1st thing Doe brought up after the alleged rape was money.

Monico also showed inconsistencies about when she reported alleged rape to cops: she said Aug. 2013, Aug. 2015 and Dec. 2015

The accuser said she asked D Rose for money hours after the alleged rape to reimburse a friend for a cab ride home. The friend never said she asked for money, and the accuser asked for $200 (cab ride was $20). The accuser could never explain why she asked for that much money.
She also could never explain why she asked to be reimbursed for a sex toy that she didn’t even purchase (it was given to her by a club promoter). As stated before the accuser was heavily in debt and needed a golden parachute and that parachute was Derrick Rose.
Derrick Rose moved for mistrial just now claiming Doe hid a text message saying she was mad he didnt "f–k" her friend. Judge 2 rule tues

This along with other missing texts (mainly asking Rose for money & speaking about group sex) almost caused a mistrial. The accuser’s lawyers never could explain why they hid the texts from the defense (probably because they knew their client was lying).
The Judge could have declared a mistrial but instead allowed the defense to cross examine the accuser again were even more lies were spread.
Doe insisted that she did not remember sending the text messages and again repeated, “I don’t text that way.” In response, defense lawyers referenced several other text messages she sent to Rose back in June, trying to show that she did text “that way,” using language that was similar to the kind that was used in the missing text messages.
One text message they brought up several times to make this point was sent from Doe to Rose on June 20, 2013. It read, “Dam baby u make you pussy wet.”
This line of questioning was continued by co-defense counsel Mike Monico, who first read the pussy text and then went to another text message, in which Doe told Rose she was going to take a shower with her vibrator (“I’m about to take a cold ass shower with my vibrator smdh.”) Doe said that one was a joke.
Monico later rattled off another string of questions about a text message in which Doe asked Rose for money to pay cab fare for a friend who came with her to Rose’s place one night. The friend testified that she didn’t expect any money from Doe for their cab.
Monico asked if that meant the request for money was a lie; Doe said no. Why, then, did she ask for the cash? Because the friend was upset, Doe said. What was the cash for, he asked. Doe said it was for the cab. But the cab was only about $20, Monico said, and Doe had asked for more than $200 from Rose.
During another string of questions, Baute tried to push back against Doe’s claim that she didn’t normally send lewd or vulgar texts. In one of the text messages referenced, Doe called a friend a bitch. Baute then went on to point out that Doe was able to use perfect punctuation and give out her address in texts she sent to Rose on the night of the alleged assault, this despite her claim that she was blacked out from drinking too much during that time.
In depositions the accuser’s own friend and roommate said she was a pathological liar.
A totally separate friend of the accuser went on the witness stand and said this.
“We had a lot of fun in Las Vegas. During the trip to Vegas, the plaintiff told me that she had not heard from Derrick Rose for a while, and she had recently had sex with Derrick and two of his friends — Randall and Allen. She told me she had sex with all three of them, and that she was upset that Derrick was okay with it. At no time did she ever state or claim that Derrick Rose (or his friends) had raped her or done anything non-consensual. Just the opposite: she informed me in her own words that she had partied with them and been with all of them, but all indications were that it was consensual.
“In light of my extensive background and training providing services to inner-city communities including abused women, I bluntly asked her if she was raped. She said “no” but that she did sleep with all three men. A month or so later, she told me she was going to sue and that she expected an out of court settlement.”
Since I started following this case over a year, 14 different people contacted me who don’t know each other, but know either Rose or the accuser in some way. All 14 stated either directly or indirectly that the accuser was a liar and this was likely a set up. None were in that room, but all said if they were on the jury they would have cleared Rose based off what they had heard and knew about the accuser.
Speaking of the actual jury which consisted of 6 women and 2 men here is what a couple fo them had to say about the accuser
Jared said Doe “didn’t do any of the steps to prove her own case” and “nothing added up to a correct statement.” Jared felt like Doe “was playing us,” and he believed witness Gabriel Chavez, who testified that Doe was a liar. In contrast, Jared said Rose and his friends seemed “genuine” and “honest.”
When the jurors deliberated over the verdict, they “considered all evidence based on the facts” according to Jared, and at first tried to “prove the plaintiff correct” before deciding, but felt like they couldn’t. He said factors for the jury were Doe blacking out, her alcohol drinking, and not getting a hair test done to test for date rape drugs, before adding that three years having passed since the alleged incident was not a factor, except for how it affected witnesses’ ability to remember what happened. “She made her choices that night,” he added.
A juror named John echoed what Jared said, telling reporters there was “no true evidence.” The lies Jane Doe told in her text messages were a factor for John, as well as her asking Rose for money. “That was questionable for me,” he said.
Derrick Rose put his personal life out in the public eye to prove his innocence. Many other players with far more evidence against them than Rose have settled out of court to keep things quiet and their reputation intact (like a Ben Roethlisberger who paid off his accusers so a CRIMINAL trial didn’t start). You may disagree with Rose’s sexual lifestyle, but that didn’t make him a rapist.
There is also a racial component of this case that people are too afraid to speak on. Black men are always assumed guilty no matter the crime. We are always stereotyped as animals, thugs and sexually aggressive. Even without a shred of hard evidence against Rose these stereotypes were thrust upon him. Whereas a kicker like Josh Brown who admitted he beats his wife and abused women for years gets a pass, it isn’t a coincidence their skin color is different. Some will call Derrick Rose a rapist for the rest of his life even though he went all the way through a civil trial that he could have settled and kept hush hush to prove his innocence. If he was white he would be celebrated for that, because he is black he will still be vilified.
As I have stated many times rape is a heinous crime, and I feel for all the real victims out there. The accuser isn’t a victim.
She is a liar and extortionist who deserves to be behind bars, not for what she just did to Derrick Rose and his friends, but for what she has done to discredit and make it harder for all the true victims of sexual assault and domestic violence.
Shame on her
