Heading: jackson's evidence at trial

Text: Jackson, 30 years of age at the time of trial, testified and, on direct examination, acknowledged that he was Ricky Dean Jackson and had been previously convicted of three felonies. Jackson further testified that he was naked when he approached the victim in her apartment and asked for sex with her. Jackson, however, denied that he, by use of force, attempted to have sex with the victim and, further, denied that he attempted to touch the victim's genital area or other intimate parts of the victim's body or attempted in any manner to penetrate the victim's body. Jackson also testified that he might have ejaculated on the victim's pant leg. (Other evidence substantiated that Jackson had, in fact, ejaculated on the victim's pant leg.) While admitting that he had grabbed the victim, covered her mouth, and dragged the frightened victim to the couch, Jackson also acknowledged that it was possible that he told the victim to Shut up, or I'll kill you.
