Sports Briefing | College Football: Date Picked for Vanderbilt Players’ Retrial

Two former Vanderbilt football players who had been convicted of raping an unconscious student are scheduled to be retried Nov. 30. The date came after a Nashville prosecutor told a judge that he wanted the former players, Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey, to be retried as quickly as possible. They were being held in jail last month, awaiting sentencing, when a judge set aside their guilty verdicts after it was revealed that the jury foreman had been a victim of statutory rape.
