The victim of a brutal attack during a home invasion sobbed in court after her attacker was found not guilty of attempted murder, but he will go to prison for rape and assault.
Shawn Custis, 45, was found guilty of rape and second-degree aggravated assault for the June 21, 2013 attack that was recorded on the victim's 'nanny cam'.
The mother was raped for two hours, punched, kicked and thrown down the basement stairs while her husband and children were visiting relatives.
The jury of nine blacks and three whites began deliberations Tuesday, weighing whether to believe Custis' defense attorney's claim that his client was framed by racist cops, or prosecutors' contentions that bias didn't play a part and that they were led to Custis by several people who identified him after seeing the video on television.
Prosecutors showed the video to jurors at the beginning of Custis' trial; when Assistant Essex County Prosecutor Jamel Semper showed it again later in the trial, two female jurors held their hands over their eyes

*Daily Mail quickly removed the screenshot of the rape footage from their media outlets after complaints. The editorial staff were later penalised for breaching professional standards.
