After four long, emotional days of testimony and evidence, Judge Thomas Lipps was given the Steubenville rape case on Saturday night and said he will announce his verdict at 10 a.m. ET Sunday at the Jefferson County Justice Center.

Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'lik Richmond, 16, are charged with the rape last August of a 16-year-old West Virginia girl who prosecutors say was drunk or drugged after a teenage party. Mays and Richmond are being tried as juveniles and face imprisonment until they turn 21. They have each maintained their innocence.

Both teens are members of Steubenville High School's powerhouse Big Red football program, which plays to much adulation and is a point of local pride in this aging steel mill town in Eastern Ohio.

The case drew international attention because of pictures of the victim, who appeared passed out as the defendants appeared to be carrying her by her ankles and wrists. Later, a video of a friend of the defendants making crude, cruel jokes about the "dead girl" who he declared was "so raped" shocked many. In addition, the state was able to recover thousands of text messages and social media comments about the night, offering a near real-time accounting of the night, often in crude language.

"This case isn't about YouTube videos," special prosecutor Marianne Hemmeter said to Judge Lipps in her closing arguments. "This case isn't about social media. … It is about a 16-year-old girl who was taken advantage, toyed with and humiliated. And it's for [the defendants] to pay for what they did."

Saturday brought another extended day in court, nearly 12 more hours that included the victim taking the stand and weeping as she saw a photo of herself naked and passed out that night – a photo that was snapped and shared among many Steubenville High students.

The girl, who lives and attends a different high school across the Ohio River in Weirton, W.V., testified that she remembers nothing of the attacks or of the night after admittedly drinking heavily at a party.

She just recalls waking up in the morning, naked in a strange basement surrounded by the defendants. The state alleges she was assaulted there by both Mays and Richmond, as well as being previously digitally penetrated by Mays in the backseat of a car as one of his friends filmed the act.

"I woke up with no clothes on and I didn't know what had happened at all," she testified Saturday. "I was on a couch. My clothes were off. My hair was a mess and it felt weird."
