I think the daughter was about 16 when this supposedly took place. I don't think he's an alcholic. He still has his insurance business in town.
He apparently is a very controlling individual, especially where his wife and daughter are concerned, but that's not what he's on trial for. According to the doctor who testified, there was no convincing physical evidence that the girl had ever had sex. My point is really that if the prosecutors have failed to convince two juries that this man is guilty, that amounts to a not guilty verdict, since there is obviously a reasonable doubt. His reputation is ruined anway, whatever happens. -- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter Sutphen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > How old is the daughter?
