Judge: Araiza, co-defendants can access graphic videos taken during alleged rape near SDSU [Breaking]
A judge has agreed to allow attorneys for several former Aztec football players, including star collegiate punter Matt Araiza, to have a copy of sexually graphic videos recorded the night a woman says she was gang raped at a party near San Diego State University.
Jim Mitchell, one of the woman’s attorneys, said in an email that they “disagree with the Court’s decision on this highly sensitive issue” and plan to ask an appellate court to review it. Braner disagreed, finding it would be “grossly unfair to allow such highly probative evidence to be shielded from use in a judicial action by a statute intended to prevent and criminalize distribution of child pornography.”
Braner’s ruling to allow access to the videos nods to the choice prosecutors made: “Indeed, it appears likely that this evidence played a central role in the decision not to proceed with a criminal prosecution of Defendant Araiza.” Araiza’s attorneys say they believe the videos will exonerate their client, and they say they don’t believe Araiza appears in any of them. Araiza was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in April 2022, then was cut from the NFL team when the civil lawsuit was filed four months later. Teams have shied away as the civil suit remains in play.
Attorneys representing the woman argue that there was no reason for anyone to view the recordings if the only person they depict is their client. They have also argued the videos capture only seconds of an incident they say lasted more than an hour.
