Description
The defendant-appellant, Lester Daniel Smoot, was charged with forcing a 22 year old Pocatello woman to have intercourse with him under threat of bodily harm. The rape was alleged to have taken place during the early morning hours of May 16, 1975. A jury found Smoot guilty of rape upon which a judgment of conviction was entered and he was sentenced to six years in the state penitentiary. The victim testified at trial as follows: At approximately 7:30 to 8:30 p. m. on May 16, 1975, one of the victim's co-workers, picked her up at her home with the intention that they go to a local bar and listen to a band. They met other mutual acquaintances at the bar and stayed until closing time. At approximately 1:00 a. m., as they were preparing to leave, one of the friends suggested that they all go out to breakfast but the victim told the group she preferred to go home. Since she had not driven her own car, this presented problems because her friend wanted to have breakfast. After some Discussion, the defendant, who was not part of the group urging they go out to breakfast, agreed to follow the victim while she drove her friend's car to her friend's house in Chubbuck, and then give the victim a ride back to her residence in Pocatello.
