3.The woman had been seeking $21.5 million in the suit that claimed the men gang raped her at home while she was incapacitated f Antworten

LOS ANGELES -- The ex-girlfriend who lost her lawsuit accusing NBA star Derrick Rose and two friends of raping her appealed the verdict Thursday on the grounds that damning testimony should have been excluded and other evidence should have been admitted at trial.Jurors cleared the Knicks point guard and his friends last month in Los Angeles federal court after they testified that the woman was coherent and willingly engaged in sex with them during an evening get-together at Roses rented mansion in Beverly Hills and again early the next morning at her apartment in August 2013.The woman had been seeking $21.5 million in the suit that claimed the men gang raped her at home while she was incapacitated from booze or drugs and unable to consent to sex.We combed the records, looked at the transcripts and I think the judge misapplied the rape shield law and, in doing so, abused his discretion, the womans lawyer, Waukeen McCoy, told The Associated Press.Rape shield laws limit or prohibit evidence of a victims past sexual history to be introduced in a case, though there are exceptions to the rule.McCoy said the judge should have excluded testimony by the Knicks point guard and his friends who said the woman willingly engaged in sex with them earlier in the evening at Roses house because it was irrelevant to the later incident.The woman denied having sex with the men at the mansion. She said she drank shots of tequila by the pool, felt drugged and went home to her apartment, where she vomited and passed out.She said she awoke in the early morning to find the three men assaulting her in her bedroom.Jurors said they found the womans account hard to believe and didnt think there was enough evidence to support her claims.Los Angeles police have an open investigation into the womans claims. The Associated Press does not generally name people who say they are victims of sex crimes.Roses lawyers have asked the judge to award $70,000 in court expenses because the defense prevailed at trial. In a court filing, his attorneys said they expected an appeal which will be meritless, frivolous, and sanctionable.Lawyers for Rose did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5. COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Dawn Staley wasnt disappointed or angry that No. 6 South Carolina was tied with ninth-ranked UCLA at half. She believed she had the Bruins right where her team wanted.The Gamecocks backed her up in a big way Sunday, running past UCLA with a third-quarter surge for a 66-57 victory and their third win over a Top 10 opponent this season.Alaina Coates had 20 points -- 11 in a 17-3 run to start the second half -- and 14 rebounds for South Carolina (9-1). Still, things looked dicey at the break with both Coates and 6-foot-5 Aja Wilson limited by fouls the first two quarters.Not to Staley.I thought we were in a great place, Staley said. I thought we were picking up steam as the game went on. I was looking at UCLA, I thought they were exhausted playing at that pace. And with our bigs in foul trouble, I thought wed have a burst in the second half where we needed to have a burst.Coates powered the decisive run with 11 points that the Bruins forwards could not match.But South Carolina used a 17-3 run -- fueled by the 6-foot-4 Coates -- to start the third period.Coates scored 11 points in the critical stretch as the Gamecocks built a 43-29 lead that the Bruins (8-2) couldnt overcome.The closest UCLA came after that was nine points on Jordin Canadas basket with 9:16 to play. But Allisha Gray followed with a three-point play for South Carolina to restore the double-digit margin.They imposed their will with their inside game, UCLA coach Cori Close said.Along with Coates, Wilson had 13 points and 13 rebounds -- the second straight contest both had double-doubles.Canada, UCLAs leading scorer who had 30 points in her last game, had 15 points on 6-of-20 shooting before fouling out with 2:15 to go.Monique Billings had a career-high 22 rebounds to go along with 12 points for the Bruins. She surpassed her high of 16 boards collected in a win over Micchigan a week ago.ddddddddddddUCLAs shooting touch was ice cold. The Bruins shot 28.2 percent for the game and made just four of 27 attempts from 3-point range.THE BIG PICTUREUCLA: The Bruins showed the speed, size and strength to match up with the best teams in the country. Billings, at 6-4, went toe-to-toe with South Carolina twin post stars in Wilson and Coates.Canada regularly sped past the Gamecocks quick guards. The Bruins seemed to wear down before halftime as the Gamecocks wiped out an eight-point lead with an 18-10 run over the final seven minutes of the second quarter.South Carolina: The Gamecocks need to start faster if they hope to succeed in the rugged Southeastern Conference. South Carolina made only two of 15 field goals in the opening quarter and finished with six points. Its been a recurring problem this season for the Gamecocks, whove scored fewer than 20 points in the first quarter in six of their 10 games this season.POLL IMPLICATIONSUCLA could slip out of the Top 10, but should not fall too far after coming cross-country to face the Gamecocks.South Carolina should hold its spot at No. 6 after winning three games in eight days.CANADA COLDSouth Carolina was wary of Canadas skill and game-planned to make it difficult for her. Canada started 2 of 9 shooting as the Gamecocks forced her to give up the ball, then worked to deny her getting it back. Shes their engine, Gray said. The whole thing was to shut down Canada.UP NEXTUCLA: Stays in the South, playing at North Carolina A&T at noon on Tuesday.South Carolina: Plays its final nonconference game when it travels to Savannah State on Wednesday night.---Story has been corrected to show that UCLA plays North Carolina A&T at noon on Tuesday instead of 9 a.m. ' ' '
