Lightening Strikes Twice

"By Line" Guy was at it again in evidence. He might be the most annoying law student I've ever encountered. His lips have been surgically placed on "His Honor's" ass (which to be fair most of the people in that class are like that-but this guy takes it to a new level).

So as we're talking about the special evidence rules pertaining to allowing in the sexual history of the accused (Rules 413, 414, and 415 if you're keeping track) in comparison with Rule 412 which shields the victims sexual past he actually asked:

Why this area of law? Is it because it's SEX?
Hmm, I don't know maybe because it's a he said/she said area and people are acquitted at extremely high rates. Or maybe it was the political popularity, but I digress.

As if that wasn't annoying enough he followed up with:
Why don't women resist if they want to have proof of their rape?
Hmm, First off, THEY DO! And maybe the ones who do not resist "enough" by "your standards", Sir, do so because women who resist are beaten and raped more severely.

As you may have guessed, by the looks of this guy (who is between 35 and 40), I'm not entirely sure he's ever had sex. I must say, night students (read: old people) are a completely different breed of law student.
