1. “[Defense counsel] says, No evidence of date rape drug. That is wrong. The Judge wouldn’t allow things — wouldn’t allow you to hear things that you are not allowed to consider as evidence. That wouldn’t come in. That’s why you get instructed. So when [J.M.] sat there from this bench, from this witness stand and said, I felt like I had never felt before. I felt drugged. That is testimony. You are allowed to consider that. When Dr. Williams came in and said that all of her statements were consistent with being drugged, you’re allowed to consider that.”
