It does say that, but it looks like he appeared in 2 different court room on 7/24. One is for the attempted rape charge of the victim from 2011, which he was released for.....but not actually.....because he also appeared on another court room on 7/24 for the murder charge, in which you can read...
ROCHESTERGIRL What were actually referring to is a channel 12 news article I posted a link to, it's post #403. If u read the column it describes that "taylor brutally beat goode while ATTEMPTING to rape her". So were trying to figure out why it's "attempted" if we know she was sexually...
Yeah that could be a possibility. There's a lot of scenarios I guess that could fit the charges if you really think about it. And we may never know, whose to say he's gonna actually say what happened, or even go to trial. He may just take an offer. It definately takes a certain kind of monster...
I agree, how is it attempted rape when there was definate evidence of sexual assault? And I'm pretty sure the medical examiner would be able to tell whether the sexual activity was consensual or forced. Maybe it's just some "legal" terminology, that they have to use......or till they get DNA...
Yea that is strange wording MOMOFFOURBOYS. Maybe just a grammar error, but I read reports there was semen and it was awaiting DNA testing. So I think "ATTEMPTED" is inaccurate, we know for sure a rape took place. Bad choice of words in my opinion. Do we know how long DNA results take to come...

This is the latest news update from channel 12 @ 5pm today.
From what I've read, overcharging is common among prosecutors. By using multiple charges it increases the chances of getting a conviction. This allows the jury to agree on one theory and possibly reject another. It reduces the possibility of a hung jury or conviction of a lesser charge...
BTW.......I am in no way, trying to defend, justify or minimize the rape charges. Just stating my opinion why it's an "attempted" rape charge. Have a goodnight WS's :bed:
And here are 2 articles about the attempted rape.

From the story I read, I gathered that there was not an actual rape. He had a female in his bedroom and at knifepoint demanded she disrobe. I don't know the details but was able to escape. But I guess that enough to charge with "attempted" rape. I will try and find the article.
When u read the charges in webcrims.... Murder in the first appears 2x.... So I'm assuming that's the 2 counts. But under one docket it says "indictment count-1" and the other says "indictment counts-2". Let's say for example the victim is not pregnant, how would a person get more than 1 charge...
I'm not sure exactly why it's 2 counts or how they decide that, but channel 12 news had some small coverage on the story, and the reporter stated he was indicted today on 2 counts if first degree murder. You can also view the charges on webcrims, but it's hard to decipher...
