For one mississippi only cares about convictions. Right wrong or whatever they don’t give a rat’s a**. I’ve been through the bull I know. Hell the lawyers that defend you here don’t care right or wrong it’s money. Mine.lied repeatedly to me when I complained to the bar they blamed me. Funny haha legal system is this country is a joke.

This is sad we are witnessing our legal system in this manner. Those in Jackson, MS should be ashamed of themselves for perverting the legal system this way. Great write-up Sandy on these legal misdeeds.

In reply to Tim in WI. Because a state judge would've most likely not seen it the way the Fed judge did and most likely the case would be appealed to the AL appeals court. The beauty of the Fed court seeing this is now it is appealed to the 11th CCOA and will apply to the entire 11th area which is very southern and rich with overbroad laws like this. Congrats Mr. Dubbeling (who works with NARSOL)!

Sandy,
Speaking of Southern States; how is it Alabama’s political class needs a Federal Judge to explain to them the unconstitutional nature of a law which bans a parent from residing with their children if they’ve been convicted of a sex offense. I mean how ungrounded is that! I thought it was about protecting and supporting the nuclear family? If it’s incestual, perhaps maybe a law, but outside preventing a direct threat of further assault no real need exists.

Sandy,
Q1: Why is there a five year gap…
A: The breakdown of speedy trial doctrine which is part of fair trial doctrine. Generally speaking the popularity of upsetting Statutes of limitations in sex cases has its own role in both placating and fomenting victim’s stance. ( CA v Steiner) (Smith V Doe)
Q2: Why did she file a complaint?
A: The child is technically protected by law in ways not available to the adult. Special protections includes the disability for the child to voluntarily disengage from prosecutorial function. Essentially the state takes over the case for the child’s cause, whereby the state itself claims to be the victim of the defendant. State claim acts against the peace and dignity of the state. Violations of child labor laws are treated much the same by states , who supplant the victim child’s role.
State however, may not relieve the child of testimony because of due processes protections held by the indicted.
Certainly these facts result in conflicts of interest.
