A jury on Bollywood ArchivesWednesday cleared NBA player Derrick Rose and his two friends of gang-raping a woman in 2013.
With a lack of physical evidence, the civil trial was largely based on text messages and phone calls, which the jury determined weren't sufficient enough to support the woman's allegations.
After the verdict, multiple members of the jury were eager to take a picture with Rose, a former NBA Most Valuable Player.

That's right. After a weeks-long trial dealing with rape accusations, where jurors are expected to maintain complete objectivity, they wanted pictures with the man they just found in favor of.

But Jurors weren't the only ones getting questionably friendly with Rose, a guard for the New York Knicks.
“Best wishes,” Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald told Rose after reading the verdict. “Except when the Knicks play the Lakers."
Folks on Twitter were skeptical of the situation, particularly given the fresh results of the trial.

The woman, whom Rose met in 2011, had been seeking $21.5 million in damages.
"I am thankful that the jury understood and agreed with me," Rose said in a statement to the Associated Press.
They understood. They agreed. And they wanted photos, too.
