Man charged with rape uses good looks defense
A Georgia man says he couldnt possibly have raped a woman at a CVS store. Hes just so good looking.
Thats Darrious Mathis defense in the second trial of a kidnapping, robbery and rape case out of Cobb County, according to Atlantas WSB-TV. Mathis used the same defense in September 2013 trial that resulted in a hung jury.
The 24-year-old victim says two and a half years earlier, she was making a quick midnight stop at an Austell CVS store when Mathis kidnapped her at gunpoint and raped her.
He had told me to get in the car and I actually begged him to take my car. I had pushed my wallet that was in my hand and my keys toward him and I was like Please take my car. You can take my cards and everything, she said.
Mathis says the above did not happen. He says he was at the CVS, selling pain medication in the parking lot when the victim approached him to buy some pills.
Any sex following was consensual because of his charming personality and handsome features, according to his defense team.Mathis is also facing additional weapons and assault charges.

(50,447 posts)He admitted to selling pain medication in the parking lot, and they haven't charged him with drug dealing? I know charging a rape suspect with drug pushing is like charging a bank robber with double parking, but they still should do it.
