The long-running NPR interview / call-in program “The Diane Rehm Show” is broadcast from WAMU, the American University radio station.
On January 26, 2001, Diane Whipple was attacked by two large Perro de Presa Canario dogs in the hallway of her apartment building. The dogs, named Bane and Hera, were owned by neighbors Marjorie Knoller and her husband Robert Noel, who argued that Whipple, a lesbian, caused the attack by using steroids or perfume/ Their attorneys attempted to use Diane’s lesbianism against her.
Tapes of Marjorie Knoller having sex with Bane were found in the apartment. She dismissed them as “unrelated to the matter.”
The judge ruled that nobody’s sex life was relevant to the case.
