Missoulian: Military calls sexual assault 'like a cancer'
Live Webcast of the Hearing on Pending Legislation Regarding Sexual Assaults in the Military, 06/04/13 at 9:30 am
“In this case, the Court of Appeals held that respondent,
who was convicted of rape and other serious crimes, is entitled to relief under
the federal habeas statute because the Supreme Court of Nevada unreasonably
applied clearly established Supreme Court precedent regarding a criminal
defendant’s constitutional right to present a defense. At his trial, respondent
unsuccessfully sought to introduce evidence for the purpose of showing that the
rape victim previously reported that he had assaulted her but that the police
had been unable to substantiate those allegations. The state supreme court held
that this evidence was properly excluded, and no prior decision of this Court
clearly establishes that the exclusion of this evidence violated respondent’s
federal constitutional rights. The decision of the Court of Appeals is
therefore reversed.”
