Not if the Jury ignores it. One side puts up experts that says it couldn't have happened. Nifong will put up an expert that is asked well, it is theoretically possible an ATM time code can be off?

A rape expert will say that rapes have occurred in 30-45 seconds. The Rape "experts" will say that it's possible the woman was afraid to so emotion in the face of her attackers - the smile was to deny her assailants from getting satisfication from her pain.

The JURY will not take from the testimony what you or I would.

The term Jury Nullification is used in regard to NOT convicting, but the same principles applies to conviction.
Juries routinely disregard the instructions from the Judge when weighing evidence - it is common.

"The JURY will not take from the testimony what you or I would."

You're absolutely correct. Imagine Nancy Grace, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Wendy Murphy....and the like, on the jury. These boys would not have a chance.
