Earlier today, Derrick Rose and the other men accused were exonerated for the alleged rape charges brought against them late last year. Check out what his lawyer had to say about it.
It’s no surprise to black people that we are unfortunately guilty until proven innocent in the eyes of most. Even in some of those cases, we cannot live down allegations that were proven in a court of law to be false or inaccurate. In this particular case, Derrick Rose and his friends, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton were found innocent of rape. The accuser is still anonymous and they are not looking to make her name public, but clearly, they are all happy that this is over so that they can focus on the upcoming season.
Rose’s attorney, Mark Baute, seemed a bit jerky, not allowing Derrick to really speak, and being curt with the media, however, I guess he’s got that right.
