Former NFL star Kellen Winslow II is facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison.
Brent SchrotenboerVISTA, Calif. – An attorney for Kellen Winslow II was standing in a hallway outside of the courtroom late last week when a reporter casually asked him a question that’s been hovering over his client’s rape trial here for the past two weeks.After all, the former NFL star is facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison.
And the answer will come soon. Judge Blaine Bowman told jury members Thursday that he expected they would be begin deliberations by Friday, June 7, after San Diego County prosecutor Dan Owens finished presenting his witnesses this past Thursday. Winslow’s attorneys will continue to present their own witnesses on Monday.Winslow, married with children, has pleaded not guilty and has a constitutional right not to testify against himself.
"This case is in a position right now where if Winslow wants his attorneys to be able to argue consent to the jury, he has to take the witness stand and testify that it was consensual," said criminal defense attorney Lisa Houle, a former Los Angeles County prosecutor who also is following this case but not involved in it.
Winslow is facing 12 criminal counts in a combined trial involving five alleged victims – three felony rape cases and two misdemeanor cases of indecent exposure and lewd conduct. All five women testified at trial. Watkins’ opening statement still put the consensual sex defense in motion. That’s when he alluded to Winslow’s statement to police last year about consensual sex, saying Winslow “admitted it a year ago.” Regarding Jane Doe 4, the third alleged rape victim, Watkins told the jury then that “she’ll admit to you she had consensual sex with Kellen.”
