“Assistant District Attorney John Newby said the judge should respect the original guilty verdict.”

Sounds like this guy should spend 23 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Thanks for posting. A terrible injustice all around.

If you don’t have money for a lawyer you don’t have any rights.

Regardless of innocence it’s the charge that is important and will stay with you for life. The question always asked: Have you ever been ‘charged’ with a crime. Doesn’t matter if you were exonerated the charge will always stick.

Assistant District Attorney John Newby said the judge should respect the original guilty verdict.

How about we put your miserable a$$ in prison for 23 years on a trumped up child molestation charge? How about that, you disgusting sleazoid?

Moore suffers from a host of mental health issues: depression, mental retardation, anxiety disorder and psychotic episodes. Moore is easily led, and her statements to police and social service workers were unreliable

But her statements NOW are rock solid. The cops would have "led" her to make incriminating statements, but the defense would never "lead" her to recant her story.

If the guy is innocent, a great injustice has been partially righted. But if he's just the beneficiary of two decades worth of second-guesses, then the system just unleashed a predator.
