Derrick Rose rape trial closing arguments begin

The lawyer for a woman suing NBA star Derrick Rose and two others for an alleged gang rape has told a Los Angeles federal court jury that his client is not a gold digger.

Attorney Waukeen McCoy said in his closing argument Tuesday that the woman is just seeking accountability, and he did not ask for a specific amount of money.

McCoy called Rose and the other defendants sexual deviants and said they laughed on their way home afterward.

Closing arguments are continuing with the defense side.

Rose and his friends contend the woman seemed sober and she willingly participated in sex and even initiated acts earlier in the night.
