I was a juror on a sexual assault case a few years back and the defense suggested all sorts of things like that, then when it was the defense's turn to present their evidence, I figured we'd hear those things from the defendant and they just said they had no evidence to present, the defendant didn't testify and we immediately started deliberations.
I feel like it is pretty typical that the defendant doesn't testify. It'll be interesting to see if any of these guys take the stand.

Well, if she denied it and there's no evidence put forward by them to the contrary, there's no evidence and thre judge will instruct the jury to disregard those suggestions.
