(AP) --  The judge presiding over a former
University of Iowa football player's sexual abuse trial has denied
a request from deliberating jurors to review video testimony from
one of the alleged victim's friends.

Judge Paul Miller told jurors Wednesday that they must rely on
their memories of the video testimony of Christine Kuczek.

 Kuczek testified that she was drinking with the alleged victim
hours before the alleged assault happened in October 2007. Kuczek
said her friend told her the next morning she had been raped, and
that she took her friend to the hospital.

Prosecutors say former Hawkeyes defensive back Cedric Everson
had nonconsensual sex with the woman while she was passed out in a
dorm room and after one of his teammates sexually assaulted her. He
denies wrongdoing.
