If I was on a jury and the defendant tried to tell me “I tripped and fell on this woman’s vagina, and he just happened to have some spare semen on my hands, and anyway she really really wanted me.”

I would recommend that his sentence be doubled. Just for being a rapist AND a lying scumbag.

In related news, how many members of this jury have subsequently retired from their jobs?

Reminds me of this line from “Guilty Conscience”:

Dr Dre: Wait, what if there’s an explanation for this shit?  
Eminem: What, she tripped, fell, landed on his dick?

Jury verdicts have to be unanimous. All 12 had to agree to “not guilty.”
