Last week.
Umi says, you gotta shine ya light.
In evidence class last week were discuss the rape shield laws.
Rule 412. Sex Offense Cases; Relevance of Alleged Victim’s Past Sexual Behavior or Alleged Sexual Predisposition

(2) Evidence offered to prove any alleged victim’s sexual predisposition.
Translation.
An alleged rape victims sexual history in a rape case is inadmissable.
The Duke case just came down last week, so my professor decided to use it as a “teaching moment”.
One of my colleges says,
“Well can we offer into evidence the fact that she dressed like a prostitute [I paraphrase but this is the gist of his statement”.
There were good hearted chuckles in the class as well as several FEMALE class mates looking around. Like. What? Did he just say that for real.
Personally.
I felt my HEART raise up in my throat and I KNEW that I had to say something.
I raised my hand.
She didn’t call on me.
30 seconds later.
The moment passed.
She asked, “Did I see a hand raised in the back?”
Umi says, you gotta shine.
I did a two second debate in my head.
DID I wanna be the BLACK girl, talking about the Black girl topic?
NO.
