Prosecution Asks for More Time in Carter Case | Baton Rouge News

Prosecutors sought a 30-day delay in the Desmond Carter case, sparking courtroom tension as the judge criticized their rushed justification—calling it “rape” before a jury verdict. The case centers on Madison Brooks’ fatal hit-and-run after a night out, with Carter and two others indicted for rape despite no DNA evidence linking them to her. While prosecutors blame late defense filings, the defense counters that the state has had three and a half years to prepare—and this last-minute request feels unjustified. A new hearing is set for September 17th. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
