When rape culture meets celebrity culture, the result is what you see above. Derrick Rose and two friends were found not liable in his $21.5 million civil gang rape trial today, and Rose will head back to the gym to get ready for the NBA season with the New York Knicks.
But only minutes after the verdict, Rose posed with members of the jury who asked for photos. And in dismissing the case, the judge, Michael W. Fitzgerald, joked: “Best wishes in the future, except when the Knicks play the Lakers.” (according to the New York Post).
