A 23-year-old woman testified yesterday that on a Sunday morning in February, her friend was so desperate to escape the man who had just raped her that she dangled one leg from a third-floor window inside her South Street apartment and prepared to jump.
The 30-year-old friend thought she could land on a restaurant sign, then jump onto the sidewalk, the younger woman testified.
But then the alleged rapist - David Rosario - "burst into the room," she said.
At that moment, her friend "got startled," the witness said. "She basically almost fell out [the window]. She hit the sign post, then landed straight on her stomach."
