Madison Brooks death: Second suspect in alleged rape of LSU student indicted

Kerry Miller, the lawyer representing Madison Brooks' family in the wake of her untimely death, sets "the record straight" in interview with Fox News Digital.

A grand jury indicted the second of four suspects connected to the alleged rape of LSU sophomore Madison Brooks, who was fatally struck by a car.

Casen Carver, 18, was charged with third- and first-degree rape, which is Louisiana's most severe sexual assault charge and is punishable by life in prison without parole.

He was booked earlier on a lesser charge of principal to third-degree rape for allegedly sitting in the front of the car while the 19-year-old was allegedly raped in the backseat. 

Carver's lawyer, Joe Long, told WWLTV that the charges were unwarranted after Desmond Carter's indictment on first- and third-degree rape in February. Carter, a 17-year-old who is being tried as an adult, is alleged to have had sex with Brooks, while Carver is not.

"We expected this indictment based on what happened to Mr. Carter despite the fact that my client didn't have sex with Madison Brooks," Long said, referring to Carter's February indictment on the same charges.

Carver "declined sex when offered and was called gay when he wouldn't have sex with her. The DA has seen it fit to pursue charges that could put him in prison for the rest of his life. Facts don't matter when the mob wants their pound of flesh," Long said.
