News reports say that a jury listened to the prosecution tell a story of a woman being raped in her own home. While the defense claims the alleged victim lied about the alleged assault. Thomas is accused of raping the woman in September of 2021. Defense attorney Ryan Tutera also claimed that police mishandled evidence and that the alleged victim tried to destroy evidence. Both sides gave their opening remarks as to what happened on the night of Sept 19, with the victim claiming she was sexually attacked, and the defense arguing it was consentual. Testimony will continue today.
