Can you not imagine a reasonable scenario in which the woman could have been beaten with a 2x4, but not raped?
Or raped by a 2x4, but not beaten with it.
Not if he’s denied the opportunity to argue that she wanted it.
What the victim said was “Get to the point bitch” which sounds to me like the defense council wasn’t even asking a question.
I would like to see a transcript that included the questioning not just the victims response.
And if was getting bad, shouldn’t the prosecutor have objected at some point?

I’m glad the victim returned to court and did not just dope the charges. I really don’t see her getting justice in that court room.
Your defense theory is that the person on the stand is a liar who would accuse your client of rape, a crime that can carry the death penalty, rather than face the minor embarrassment to admit that the sex was consensual. Treating them with a certain level of sneering disgust for the way in which they’re abusing the courts and trying to ruin the life of an innocent person fits the narrative.
Short version: What rape victim?
Are you saying it makes a woman sexually aroused to be beaten with a club?
No.
It’s not clear that the defense theory was consensual sex. It probably wasn’t.
Easy. The woman had consentual sex with a man or more than one man and then regrets it. There could be a lot of reasons ranging from cultural background to she’s mad the men considered the sex only sex and not the start of a relationship. She self-inflicts the beating or has a friend do it. Or perhaps the sex was consentual, but cheating and she was beaten up by the person who thought she cheated on them.
