21 Year Old College Athlete Acquitted Of Rape

A Middlesex County Superior Court acquitted a twenty-one year old D-1 scholarship lacrosse player of an alleged date rape after deliberating for less than two hours. Denner Pellegrino Partners Brad Bailey and Timothy Bradt successfully used Massachusetts' First Complaint (Fresh Complaint) Reporting Doctrine, an evidentiary exception normally used by prosecutors to help prove their case, to establish reasonable doubt in the case and help persuade jurors of their client's innocence. Mr. Bailey and Mr. Bradt were also able to successfully pursue a novel defense approach by using multiple Facebook postings and photographs for the limited purpose of rebutting the prosecution's claim that the complainant's demeanor had changed as a result of the alleged incident.
