'Epic’ bar mitzvah party produces epic trial and bizarre defense

Article here. Excerpt:

'"On Saturday, March 21,” it said, “a bar mitzvah was held at a North Scottsdale home. … One of the guests at the party, whose name is Lindsey Radomski (32 years old), recently had breast augmentation surgery. At one point, Radomski exposed her breasts to a group of 5 adults at the party. The adults admonished her not to expose herself again. Later, Radomski exposed her breasts to a group of juveniles by the pool. Radomski was told to ‘sleep it off’ in one of the bedrooms of the home.”

But she didn’t. And so, the statement continued:

“In the early morning hours of Sunday March 22nd, most of the party guests had gone home or were asleep. Radomski invited 7 juvenile boys, ranging in ages from 11 to 15, into a bedroom where she allowed the boys to fondle her breasts. Later, all of the boys left the bedroom except for one 15 year old boy. Radomski then performed oral sex on the 15 year old boy.”
...
So her lawyers’ defense is built around an unusual theory but not one uncommon in cases involving sex: The alleged victims did it.
...
Someone — her lawyers contended during the trial that it was an 18-year-old at the party who was never identified — slipped into one of her drinks the “date rape” drug GHB. She blanked out, they argued, and the boys took advantage. At one point, one of her lawyers blurted out that she had been “raped,” although there is no evidence of that.

Although that may sound far-fetched, so do lots of theories presented by good defense lawyers. All they need to do, remember, is raise doubt in the minds of the jurors.
...
In addition to earlier testimony from each of the boys, prosecutors have countered with, among other things, the results of blood tests taken after the party showing no more GHB than would naturally occur in a person’s body.'
