From the article:

"At some point in their interviews and investigations, one or more of these officers asked (the accuser) to describe the men who she claims sexually assaulted her, and (she) provided some answer to that question," the motion filed by lawyers Bill Cotter and Wade Smith said.

Her "response to that question is critical to the defense of the case and the state may not withhold that evidence from the defendant."

You are totally correct. There is nothing to argue with in that statement.

However, we are not sure what the description or descriptions were. A white man, 3 white men, or 4 white men - it's possible that was her description.

The answers to those questions are critical and I'm not disputing that in any way; however, some are thinking this means there is a detailed description out there - which hasn't been provided to the Defense. That may be the the case, but it could just as easily have been very generic with no detail whatsoever, like 3 white men.
