The accuser, appearing on CNN in shadow, told Pamela Brown:
“I remember the next day, I can see flashes of that evening, of him on top of me, me pushing him off, him grabbing me. It was a lot more aggressive — it was aggressive.
“Did you say no?” Brown asked her.
I’m sorry, but why does this even need to be asked? When it comes to consent, anything less than an enthusiastic “yes” is auto-fucking-matically a “no”.
“Your honor, my client, before wrestling Mr Smith to the ground, putting a gun to his face, and then pulling the trigger, heard no verbal statement from Mr Smith saying ‘Do not kill me’. In light of this you must drop these murder charges and let my client go free.” /s

Victim-blaming scumbag.
The answer is yes. Yes she did. Pushing someone off is saying no. No verbal exchange needed.
Brown’s logic:
