1. ““The victim testified that as she was walking home from work sometime after 9:30 p.m. on July 10, 1985, the appellant grabbed her from behind and carried her into a garage. She said that after entering the garage, the appellant threw her back against a wall and indicated that he wanted to have sex with her. She testified that she resisted and attempted to cry out but that the appellant struck her across her face and pinned her against the wall, where he choked her with one hand while removing her clothes with the other. He then forced her onto the hood of a car in the garage and had intercourse with her. “Dr. Kenneth E. Roberts, who examined the victim soon after the attack, testified that he observed a bruising over her right jaw and tenderness and swelling over the lower part of her back. He testified that the injuries were fresh. He also testified that he observed two lacerations on the victim’s vagina and that these were consistent with those he had seen on other women who had been sexually assaulted.””
