Okay fellas, a quick recap (in case you missed it...some of you are kind of dumb):

IF a woman shows up at your house, don't rape her. K? The following subset of rules apply to this main rule.
It doesn't matter how drunk she is.
It doesn't matter if she's with another woman when she arrives.
It doesn't matter if she's SO drunk she's puking and then passing out.
It doesn't matter that she didn't say "no" as silence is NOT acquiescence when it comes to sex.
It doesn't matter if you "fancy" her. (dumb fucking judge)
You CAN resist. Holy shit, how stupid are some people? "You couldn't resist." What, did I miss the testimony about the gun put to this man's head? The knife to his infant's throat?

Sigh. At least the jury saw it for what it was, I suppose.
