Story here.
A judge in Omaha has understandably barred a rape accuser from using the words "rape" and "sexual assault" at trial, since these words are inflammatory statements. Their has already been one trial on this case that ended in a hung jury. Of course, the woman wants to bring drama into this trial to make sure there is a conviction this time...so she's pulling a media stunt by saying that she will use these words anyway, defying the judges order. She skews the issue further by saying that she has first amendment rights to say whatever she wants in the courtroom. This article sickens me...yet another possible precedent to make sure rape accusers get to pull out all the stops and make their own rules (with the help of the media) to make sure there are more convictions (based on emotion not facts, of course).
I'm really afraid that she will get everything she wants and more.
