Derrick Rose has done himself no favors thanks to his testimony in the gang rape trial he is battling in court. However, the judge presiding over the case has warned that he may call a mistrial because the prosecution is looking funny in the light. 

It turns out all the text from the accuser, which Rose’s attorney may prove the sex was consensual, were not turned over to the NBA player’s lawyers.

Reports ABC News:

The judge in the trial of a rape lawsuit against NBA star Derrick Rose and two other men said Tuesday that he’s considering a mistrial after criticizing the plaintiff’s lawyers as “unbelievably careless” in production of exhibits.

Rose’s lawyers asked U.S. District Court Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald to declare a mistrial because they had not been given three text messages important to their case until Friday, when Rose was on the witness stand.

The lawyers for the woman who accused the New York Knicks player and two friends of raping her in her apartment in 2013 said the texts were previously disclosed and the argument was frivolous.

Fitzgerald, who used the phrase “unbelievably careless” several times, said it was not a frivolous matter and he told the lawyers to prove the texts had been disclosed.

The accuser is seeking $21.5M in the civil lawsuit. The details are quite salacious.

Sexual text messages were at the center of Rose’s first day of testimony Friday, when the plaintiffs’ attorneys called him as a hostile witness to help make the case that the woman never gave consent to have sex with him and his longtime friends and assistants, Randall Hampton and Ryan Allen.

The woman sent Rose a series of suggestive texts, starting with one that said he’s the reason she “wakes up horny,” followed by similar messages throughout the day of Aug. 26, 2013, Rose testified.

He said he took these messages as consent for sex, though none said so explicitly.

Rose said the only time the woman said “no” was when all three men tried to walk into her bedroom at once, and she told them to instead come one at a time.

Rose continues to maintain the he did nothing wrong.
