Battery in the first degree - the lip injury arkleg.state.ar.us Arkansas Code ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The argument failed to persuade Mr. Clinton, who, she says, got her onto the bed, held her down forcibly and bit her lips. The sexual entry itself was not without some pain, she recalls, because of her stiffness and resistance. When it was over, she says, he looked down at her and said not to worry, he was sterile--he had had mumps when he was a child. "As though that was the thing on my mind--I wasn't thinking about pregnancy, or about anything," she says. "I felt paralyzed and was starting to cry." As he got to the door, she remembers, he turned. "This is the part that always stays in my mind--the way he put on his sunglasses. Then he looked at me and said, 'You better put some ice on that.' And then he left." Her friend Norma Rogers, a nurse who had accompanied her on the trip, found her on the bed. She was, Ms. Rogers related in an interview, in a state of shock--lips swollen to double their size, mouth discolored from the biting, her pantyhose torn in the crotch. "She just stayed on the bed and kept repeating, 'I can't believe what happened.' " Ms. Rogers applied ice to Juanita's mouth, and they drove back home, stopping along the way for more ice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- According to Arkansas law, Clinton committed first and second degree battery against Ms. Broaddrick, in addition to rape. The Arkansas Code is on-line at arkleg.state.ar.us if anyone want to research this further. Title 5, Chapter 13 covers Assault and Battery. Title 5, Chapter 14 covers Sexual Offenses. freerepublic.com

I think the key word is assault here. In legalese, assault is verbal abuse only. Kendall did not deny that Clinton ever committed battery or rape of Broadrick. Kendall is taking advantage of the fact that most people when they think of assault think of physical abuse. From a legal perspective, assault is verbal abuse only. There's no denial that the President battered Broadrick or even raped Broadrick. Kendall is simply denying assault- legalese for verbal abuse. You could literally beat the shit out of someone and rape them without ever assaulting them.
