Friend of Accused Testifies in Rape Trial: NAHA — A witness testified Thursday in the rape trial of a U.S. Air Force member that he heard the alleged victim say "no" during the incident. But he said he thought she was saying no to another man standing near the scene. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Marvin Carter said he did not think his friend, Staff Sgt. Timothy Woodland, was raping a 24-year-old Okinawan woman when he came upon them in an American Village shopping plaza parking lot June 29. Carter said he was looking for Woodland to give him a ride back to Kadena Air Base after spending the evening at a local club. Carter said he saw his friend having sex with the woman on the hood of a car about 2:30 a.m. A third man was standing near the couple, he said, and the woman was yelling, "No! Stop!" The prosecution called Carter to testify, because his statement corroborated that of Marine Lance Cpl. Jermaine Oliphant. Last week when Oliphant testified, he said he saw Woodland forcing himself on the woman as she struggled against him.
