La Salle: Expert Opinion Supports Prosecution in La Salle Rape Trial



Expert Opinion Supports Prosecution in La Salle Rape Trial: A toxicologist testified that a La Salle student probably had three times the legal limit of alcohol in her when she said Explorer players Michael Cleaves and Gary Neal raped her. The prosecution argues that Cleaves and Neal took advantage of the drunk 19-year-old student and raped her while she was vomiting in the sink. According to the experts testimony, the woman had six to eight shots of 99-proof alcohol, which would have rendered her drunk. Or as the prosecution likes to say, “smashed.” The defense and accused former players argue that the sex was consensual. The entire mess has been a black eye for La Salle, which is trying to build a competitive program in the Atlantic 10. [10/27/05]
