Jimmie Lee Branch v. State of Mississippi

Jimmie Lee Branch was accused of raping an adult female citizen of the City of Jackson on the night of March 12, 1975. The victim testified that a man had entered her bedroom while she was asleep, at about one oclock in the morning, and pressed a pillow over her face, saying," Dont scream and dont holler. If you do Ill kill you. "The man blindfolded her and, after forcing her to disrobe, tied her up. During the next four hours, the man raped her four times and also committed oral intercourse upon her. He tried unsuccessfully to commit anal intercourse, and also attempted to force the victim to perform oral intercourse upon him. She testified that the man put what seemed to be a gun to her head and that, although he threatened to kill her, she refused to perform oral intercourse upon him. Before leaving, he ransacked her home and stole many of her belongings." He got everything he could get in my car. He stole my car. "
