I think what you’ve written explains a bigger reality in the sentence the judge handed down that other possible factors.
I was called for jury duty on a campus date rape case.
When the defense lawyer questioned each member of the jury pool, he learned that I was a USMC Vietnam veteran and the father of three daughters.
“You’re dismissed.”
(I would have listened to all the defense arguments... of course, “no” means “NO!”, even if they both were drunk at the time. And the defendant had admitted that she said “no”.)
