Judge: Terrence Shannon Jr.'s Legal Team Allowed to Show Video Evidence at Rape Trial

Former Illinois guard Terrence Shannon Jr.'s legal team will be able to show video evidence at his rape trial that is scheduled to begin next week.

During a Friday hearing in Lawrence, Kansas, Judge Amy Hanley ruled that the video evidence will be permitted, per ESPN's Myron Medcalf.

Medcalf noted the judge's ruling was in response to Shannon's lawyers arguing "that the video evidence they will present during the trial will show another man standing next to the alleged victim the night of the alleged sexual assault" at the same Lawrence bar.

Hanley called the evidence "relevant" to the case in her ruling.
