Vic, it's this reason why the state won't drop cases. They are trying to cover their behinds in hopes that the defendant will take a plea so they can't sue.

Alan, I can't agree more. The state prosecutors only care about winning at any cost. I know personally about two cases where two young men are currently in jail and the victim has changed her story some many times it's pathetic. She denied everything anything at first appearance in one case, but that they still are still prosecuting. Peter Williams has my vote.

The prosecutor is disappointed when someone gets on the stand, is put under oath and decides to (finally) tell the truth? That little comment speaks volumes of what kind of "justice" Meggs' office seeks.

Right, and then they give you space to explain it. If used properly this should not be an issue for him.

What happened? Did you read the story? A witness changed her story, but waited until trial before telling anyone.

Why should an attorney be disbarred for having an opinion? I believe that her disappointment was not that that he was rightly acquitted, but that a witness would change their story once on the stand - after all this time.

I totally agree they all admitted it at first now they changing the story. Its more to that if the truth be told it was his daughter/Step daughter and they're trying not to make him look bad but its already proven that he did it. I've been following this case for a while and documents has proven that he committed the crime.

Justice in the courts equal dollars. You can buy them very cheap these days.

You are absolutely correct! I remember the original story as well, as I used to live in the same neighborhood as this family, so it became an item of interest to me.

Tad bit confusing...previous stories stated that he admitted to molesting the girls. Did the reporters get something wrong, or did the girls recant due to a bit of coercion from someone?

The girl is his daughter or step-daughter. Not to mention, in previous news reports he admitted he molested her.
