At one point, one of the woman’s friends pulled up in the driveway behind them. The friend told jurors she saw Sills’ truck parked in the driveway and assumed Sills and the woman were inside the house. “She showed the marks of where his hands held her down on her legs, on her inner thighs,” she said. “She said Josh raped her.”
Sexual assault nurse Leslie Doerfler testified that the woman was visibly distressed and spoke with a raspy voice, and that there was bruising and “subtle signs of injury” on her neck and clavicle.
