Text: ¶ 13 On the night of February 23, 1992, E.R. was fourteen years old, approximately five feet eight inches tall and she weighed between one hundred eighty and two hundred ten pounds. She was walking along Indian School Road toward 19th Avenue when she accepted a ride from a man in a car. He drove north out of the city and pulled onto a dirt road near Lake Pleasant. In the car, the perpetrator removed the victim's underwear, forced her to perform oral sex, and vaginally raped her. He then took her out of the car and forced her to perform oral sex again. Afterwards, as E.R. bent to pick up her sweater, she was struck in the head with a heavy object. The next day, she was found wandering near Lake Pleasant. Badly injured, she was wearing only a shirt, a shoe, and a sock. DPS found a five-probe match between the defendant's DNA and a sample taken from the victim's vagina. The victim identified the defendant as her assailant at a live lineup and at trial.
