This is really bugging me. I hope there's no need for this but I think this could be used for an appeal, among other things. Are there any legal eagles out there that can explain why the judge allowed Dusek to graphically describe to the jury just how DW raped this child even though he's not charged with rape?

I'm not a legal eagle, but I think it could only be used if Feldman objected and was overruled. Not sure whether that happened.

It certainly seems improper to me that Dusek got away with doing that.
