A Connecticut man accused of rape was acquitted this week after employing an unusual defense tactic: dropping his pants in court and showing his penis to the jury. There was one major issue, according to Bussert: His client’s penis did not match the description the accuser provided. “Unfortunately, in one of [the photos], the flash had washed everything out,” Bussert told The Washington Post in a phone interview Saturday. James “stepped up before the jury box and proceeded to unbutton his pants,” Bussert said. What light was shining on it?”Despite the prosecution’s protests, the jury ruled James was not guilty on all three counts of first-degree sexual assault.
