Now THAT'S a defense attorney (aka, "How was this shmuck not guilty?")

[holland3r]

Of course it's possible he's telling the truth -- clearly the state couldn't prove he did it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Failing to convict someone with a weak case brought against them >>>>> greater than wrongfully convicting someone who didn't do it.

Wow, i hope you are all being sarcastic.

There is a high chance the dude didnt do it. The reason they dont mention prior convictions is because it prejudices the jury, just like it has prejudiced you.

12 men and woman, good and true, listened to ALL the evidence and came back not guilty. How can you possibly judge when you have listened to litterally none of the evidence?

They didn't necessarily listen to all the evidence. Prior sex crimes convictions are huge. Come on, he's a convicted pedo with a big underground room. WTF do you think he's doing down there?

I hate when people blame the lawyer in these cases. It's his job to defend his client to the best of his abilities. If the case against his client is weak, then put some blame on the prosecution for messing this up.

Your honor, I submit into evidence exhibit A, "big underground room". The prosecution rests.

Hoefer cross-examined the first victim to take the stand, a girl whose mother moved into a single-wide mobile home with Hinson shortly after he was released from prison after serving nine years in prison for raping a 12-year-old girl at knifepoint.

The other victim took the stand in the afternoon, telling a story similar to the first girl’s. The two victims lived in a second single-wide mobile home beside the one shared by Hinson, the first girl’s mother and the girl’s brother.

Hadn't followed the story, but found this.
And this,

A witness said he overheard one of the teens say they made up the story because they had stolen marijuana from Hinson and were afraid he would retaliate.

Ummmmm, so?

Isn't it possible that the man is actually innocent and that the prosecution had a weak case based on not much more than the accused's criminal history?

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah its possible, but come on. The guy is already a convicted pedophile, hes got an underground bunker he keeps drugs in and hes having sex with 17 year old girls, I mean lets just play the odds here [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[Huh?]

Uhh...maybe they might want to charge him for having an underground bunker full of mary jane as a fall back option

Yeah, a "big underground room." What would you call one of those anyway? Someone should think of a name for them, and then put them in every suburban house in the country.
