LOS ANGELES -- Defense attorneys in the $21 million rape lawsuit against NBA star Derrick Rose complained about the racial and ethnic makeup of the prospective Los Angeles jury pool, noting only two were African-American, like the defendants.An attorney for Roses two co-defendants, Randall Hampton and Ryan Allen, noted Tuesday that 15 of the first 27 jurors were Hispanic, just like woman, identified as Jane Doe. All three defendants are African-American.The jury pool was selected at random from a diverse population, Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald said. He said that was just tough luck and he could not rejigger the group.Potential jurors were asked what they know about the case, what basketball team they root for and whether they can set aside their own sexual moral beliefs and biases.Rose, who is returning to the sport with a new team after several injuries, was not in the Los Angeles courtroom because the New York Knicks open their preseason in Houston the same day. He was expected to appear Thursday. His two friends and the woman who accused the trio of gang-rape attended jury selection.Fitzgerald gave a panel of 50 prospective jurors an outline of the case, warning that they would hear testimony about sex acts and be exposed to vulgarity and profanity.The woman, who dated Rose on and off for two years, claims he and two friends raped her while she was incapacitated in her apartment after a night of drinking in August 2013. Los Angeles police are still investigating.She was identified in court for the first time and introduced to jurors by name. The Associated Press generally does not name people who say they are victims of sexual assault.Rose and his two friends denied the allegations and said the sex was consensual.I feel like Im innocent, and I feel like I didnt do anything wrong, Rose told reporters two weeks ago.Jurors were asked to fill out a short questionnaire that asked about their families, jobs and whether they or their relatives had ever been sexually assaulted.They were asked what a woman should do if she has been raped and whether a woman can be raped by a man with whom she has a sexual relationship.The trial threatens to overshadow Roses attempts to bounce back from injuries that sidelined him the past few seasons and expose details of his sex life, including text messages discussing his desire to have group sex.The woman has said she rebuffed those offers and never consented to having sex with the trio. She claimed she was drugged, though Roses lawyers said theres no evidence of any drugs.Roses attorneys said the woman is trying to extort millions from the former MVP.The woman had wanted to remain anonymous because she said she was harassed online after her name was leaked, and she didnt want her conservative parents to learn about the incident. She said they dont know anything about it or her relationship with Rose.Fitzgerald allowed her to remain anonymous until trial. If he kept her identity from the jury, the judge said it might appear he was protecting her, and jurors might assume he believed her, which could hamper Roses defense.The woman reported the incident to police last year -- two years after she says she was raped -- which is when she sued.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.Daryl Johnston Youth Jersey . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record.

Troy Aikman Youth Jersey .S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA.James Donachie never expected to play every game at Melbourne Victory, but he wouldnt mind playing a few in a row.Kevin Muscats defensive signing is one of three recognised centre-backs in the Victory squad, alongside fellow newboy Alan Baro and long-time stopper Nick Ansell.Under Victorys 4-3-3 system its a race between the three for two positions, and Donachie isnt winning it.The former Brisbane Roar man started in round one against his old side when soreness got the better of Ansell.The next week, Donachie didnt distinguish himself - though not many in navy blue did - in the Melbourne derby, lost 4-1 to Victorys cross-town rivals.Out the 23-year-old went from the Victory side, until last week when a knee niggle claimed Ansell again.So now Donachies back again. But will he stay there?Hopefully I can keep him out for a few weeks and hold my spot, he said, fully accepting his lot.I came down (to Victory) saying there was going to be competition. I didnt come down here sayiing I was going to start week in week out.ddddddddddddIt keeps me on my toes and makes me a better player. Its healthy competition.Baro, 31, has been an ever-present through the season to date, and Donachie said Victory fans had yet to witness his full potential.Spanish players are always technically really good players, he said.He can knock any ball you want, hes got both feet.The more games he gets the more confident hell grow and the more well see of his ability.In the straight shoot-out to partner the Spaniard, Donachie said he would keep up his effort in between games and hope to hear his name called out on match-day.I work my heart out every day and Ive been that way since I started as a professional, he said.Its decision making and stuff like that I need to work on. If I keep doing that then Ill get closer to being a complete footballer. ' ' '
