It was just late last month when the woman who filed a civil suit to the tune of $21 million dollars against Derrick Rose and his friends, accusing them of sexual assault, lost her battle in court. In her eyes however the war isn’t over and she has appealed the verdict from last month. The filing, which was made on Thursday, says pertinent evidence was excluded and jury instructions were tainted.

Rose didn’t seem too concerned with any appeal and in fact said he just found out about it as the media asked him about it. “I didn’t know about the appeal,’’ Rose said after the Knicks’ loss to the Wizards at Verizon Center. “I’ll let my legal team deal with it. I didn’t expect to be sued in the first place but I’ll let my legal team deal with it.’’
Jurors said they found the woman’s account hard to believe and didn’t think there was enough evidence to support her claims.
Rose is seeking $70,000 in expenses from the woman to cover his legal fees from the trial.
