That "explaination" from the defence lawyer is so ludicrous, it's like the defence lawyer is throwing the case, for no other reason than it's impossible for him to escape the truth.
So, really, the accused was roaming the dorms and happened to go into one in which a 20 something woman had just died from a heart ailment? He then masturbated over the dead body, and the lawyer calls this "embarassing?".

LAURA DICKINSON
Quote:
...Taylor had decided Thursday night in the Washtenaw County Jail not to testify in his own defense. Keel (defense attorney) had promised all week that Taylor would provide an explanation for why his semen was found on Dickinson's inner thigh. Another drop of semen was found on Dickinson's bed.
In closing arguments Friday, Keel conceded that Taylor was in the room the night Dickinson died - after she was already dead of what he asserted was a heart ailment. He said that when Taylor found her that way, he masturbated over her body.
"It may be a despicable act, one you're embarrassed about, it may be somewhat freaky.
But does that make it murder? "No," Keel said.
It isn't even sexual assault, Keel said, because you can't assault a dead person....
Keel was trying to guide the jury to a misedemeanor for necrophilia because "that's all they have," he said.
