A young man he names "Miles" was a student in a community college who got caught up in a rape case. He was invited to his cousin's house to meet two girls, who happened to be white. After they had a few drinks, Miles was having sex in the living room with one of the girls, while his cousin was having sex with the other. Miles was under the impression that his partner was eighteen, when really she was fourteen. The young lady collapsed due to her intoxication. After reviving her, he dropped her off at her parents' house. The parents called the police and got Miles arrested. Though he claimed he didn't know the girl's age, he still faced up to seven years in prison. His lawyer ([John V.

Again, this was not the subject of an objection. Finally, the trial court sustained an objection to the prosec...
