NCVLI to Participate in Michigan Case to Protect Rape Shield Laws

Booker, the three-judge panel for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals discounted Michigan’s rape shield statute in ruling that evidence that the victim engaged in sex in the past should have been admitted in order to show that it was more likely that the gang rape committed upon her was consensual. http://www.lclark.edu/live/news/7023-ncvli-to-participate-in-michigan-case-to-protect
