Description

WELLFORD, Circuit Judge. The district court in this habeas corpus application denied relief from petitioner Payne's Kentucky convictions for rape and for detaining a female, but granted relief from a second conviction for detaining a female. Both parties appeal from the district court's rulings which were adverse to their contentions at the hearing. Petitioner is a very tall young black man who was a well known athlete in Kentucky. He was indicted in May 1972 for raping Myra Thompson on September 4, 1971. Miss Thompson complained to the Louisville police that she had been raped by a tall black man, aged about 20 years, and promptly was given a physical examination at the Louisville General Hospital. The examining physician found no evidence of male sperm in the vagina, nor of her assailant's skin beneath her nails, although she claimed to have scratched him in the face during the attack, nor could he locate foreign pubic hair on her person. Thompson could not identify Payne from a series of mug shots the morning following the rape, and was later able to make an identification only after seeing Payne's picture in the sports section of the newspaper, and after seeing basketball team photographs in which Payne was the tallest person and in the center of the photographs. The Thompson rape indictment also contained a count for detaining Catherine M. Craven against her will with intent to have carnal knowledge on September 9, 1971.
