A federal jury in Los Angeles ruled Wednesday in favor of Derrick Rose and co-defendants Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton over allegations they raped one of the New York Knicks guard’s former partners in the summer of 2013. The eight-member jury, which reportedly took less than four hours to reach its decision, cleared the three men of all charges related to the $21 million lawsuit. In a statement provided to the Associated Press, Rose said he was “thankful that the jury understood and agreed with me.”“This experience and my sensitivity to it was deep. I am ready to put this behind me and focus on my family and career,” he added.
