LOS ANGELES -- Lawyers for a woman who filed a lawsuit accusing NBA star Derrick Rose and two of his friends of rape failed to disclose text messages to the defense, but the lapse was not significant enough to derail the civil trial, a judge ruled Wednesday.Lawyers for Rose had argued that the plaintiffs lawyers purposely withheld three texts until the woman finished testifying so the defense couldnt ask about messages that showed she had been plotting sex on the night in question and, on the following day, was seeking taxi reimbursement and not accusing anyone of rape.The womans lawyers said the texts did not add new information. They claimed they were shared with the defense, though they couldnt prove it.U.S. District Court Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald said the accusers legal team had failed its legal obligation to share the texts, but there was a minimal amount of prejudice against Rose and his friends.The judge said he would instruct jurors that the texts were disclosed recently and allow defense lawyers to question the accuser about the messages.Im not going to dismiss it now, Fitzgerald said. Im not going to declare a mistrial when we have a jury in the box.The woman suing Rose and two friends for $21.5 million claims she was raped while incapacitated three years ago.Text messages have played a central role in the case, providing a rough chronology and also helping explain what happened at a time when she said she blacked out from drinking and possibly some drug. During that time, she continued sending coherent messages to Rose.Dr. Ernest Lykissa, a toxicologist hired by the defense, testified that the woman couldnt have been as drunk as she claimed and been able to text so clearly.Defense lawyer Mark Baute said the newly revealed text messages were the best evidence the defense had that the woman had filed a false rape claim after being dumped by texts from Rose.During his argument to have the case dismissed, Baute dropped a bombshell by announcing the Los Angeles police detective investigating the case had died the day before.He said Detective Nadine Hernandez had once told him theres no rape case here.Hernandez, a 19-year police veteran, died from a gunshot wound to the chest Tuesday in a suspected suicide, police said.The woman suing Rose appeared shocked by news of the death.Hernandez had just interviewed the woman at her parents Northern California home in the past month, attorney Brandon Anand said.She unequivocally stated that a crime had been committed, Anand said.A Los Angeles police spokeswoman wouldnt comment on the death or the investigation, but the department issued a statement saying Hernandez was one of several detectives investigating the allegations and her death wouldnt impede the probe.The LAPD said theres no indication the death was related to any cases Hernandez was investigating.The detective had not been expected to testify at the civil trial, Anand said.

Cheap Hockey Jerseys China . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. PHILADELPHIA -- Pittsburgh won three of its four games without defenseman Kris Letang in the lineup and there is a chance the Norris Trophy candidate could be back in uniform when the Penguins renew their rivalry with the Flyers in Philadelphia on Saturday night.Sidelined by an upper-body injury suffered on Oct. 18 in Montreal, Letang was examined by a doctor on Friday before boarding the teams flight to Philadelphia.Hes getting closer for sure, Penguins coach Mike Sullivan told the teams website. Obviously, hes a big part of our team and were a better team when hes a part of our lineup.The same can be said of captain Sidney Crosby, who has two goals and one assist in two games since returning from his third concussion in six years.Pittsburgh is 2-0 with its captain in the lineup and if history is any indication, Crosby will get an earful when he steps on the ice at the Wells Fargo Center. Crosby has scored more goals against the Flyers (33 in 55 games) than he has against any other NHL team.While the Penguins (5-2-1) are coming off Tuesday nights 4-2 home win over the New York Islanders, the Flyers (3-4-1) are coming off a 5-4 loss to the Arizona Coyotes, whose only two wins of the season have come against Philadelphia.Slow starts have been an Achilles heel for the Flyers, who surrendered the first goal in each of their four home games and have been outscored 8-1 in first periods this season, including 2-0 against Arizona on Tuesday.The first period was not pretty and we know that, Flyers captain Claude Giroux said.dddddddddddd. We need to find a way to come out stronger.We did some good things sporadically, Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said. But you dont win games by doing a few good things sporadically throughout the game. You have to be good from start to finish, individually, collectively and thats how you win games.Giroux is still seeking his first goal of the season but leads the NHL with nine assists. He is on a seven-game point streak, which ties the second-longest of his career. He also recorded a seven-game streak from Jan.14-25, 2011 and posted a nine-game streak from Dec. 11-30, 2013.Flyers right wing Jake Voracek leads the team and ranks third in the NHL with 33 shots this season. He has three goals.Philadelphia defenseman Andrew MacDonald (1 goal, 1 assist, minus-3) could be a healthy scratch for the first time this season in favor of Nick Schultz on Saturday.Sullivan said Marc-Andre Fleury (5-2-1, 2.97 GAA) will be between the pipes for the Penguins on Saturday.Flyers coach Dave Hakstol has a tougher decision. Both Steve Mason (2-4-1, 3.15 GAA) and 1-0-0, 4.47) have struggled. Neuvirth was pulled from each of his first two starts.Penguins forward Carl Hagelin, who is struggling with one goal in eight games, was checked into the boards from behind against the Islanders but practiced on Friday and is expected to play, despite sporting stitches and a black left eye.
