Cheuvront barred attorneys and witnesses from using words including "rape," "victim," "assailant" and "sexual-assault kit," and ordered witnesses to sign papers saying they wouldn't use the words. Words such as "sex" and "intercourse" were allowed.

State law allows judges to bar words or phrases that could prejudice or mislead a jury.

So... sex and intercourse won't prejudice a jury, but calling it what it is will?

Hopefully the second time around with this trial they don't get a fucking retarded judge.
