I agree entirely. Sometimes I wish hell would open up and suck all the lawyers and judges in especially the ones involved in this case.

Another reason to make one skeptical about the state of MI and her liberal people

some times the good guys win though. I just was involved in a case where the mom accused the dad of abusing her for years and then abusing the child. She now has one hour of supervised visitation per week with the child.

This sounds like something that would have given Franz Kafka a case of the cold sweats.

Geez...this makes Kafka look tame. What a tragic story. We need DNA evidence on the kid for paternity.

I've long advocated that if a public offical, like a cop or prosecutor, ever uses evidence to convict someone knowing it was bad, fabricates evidence, or hides evidence from the defense, needs to serve what ever prison term the wrongly convicted gets. And that parole boards need to be held responsible for people they let out.

If what we've got here is true, then this guy needs to be supported by the state for the rest of his life, but not in prison. I wish that some hot-shot, high visibility lawyer would take the case and see what happens then.

This is an unbelievable story. Did this guy ever get representation at trial? Story says he was denied indigent and couldn't pay for his own.

The case hasn't been appealed yet the prosecution withheld evidence?

I couldn't imagine losing 20 years of my life like this. The wife needs to be strung up by her toe nails. Followed by the prosecutor. Followed by the parole board.

If this story went as Schlafly said it did, it causes me significantly more concerns than wiretapping or Jose Padilla.

Over the years, several pro bono lawyers and concerned citizens have tried to secure a pardon or a parole for Hetherington, but Michigan appears determined to make him serve 30 years because he won't admit guilt and because the bureaucracy won't admit it made a mistake.

This is the crux of the matter. Working for the government means then you NEVER have to admit you're wrong. Government bureaucrats screw up things all the time. They NEVER have to face ANY consequences for their actions.

Paging Monsieur Dumas, Monsieur Alexander Dumas.

If this is substantially true, it's even worse than the Dreyfus affair.

We should also be outraged, however, if the charges are being misrepresented here. She might have gotten a "keep away" court order on him before this happened, and then become an emotional basket case before the court to gain sympathy. Are transcripts that costly, that he couldn't get enough friends to pitch in for it? Something still seems hinky here.

Any man who would consent to marriage under present laws, needs to be locked up.

Seems like this fella was the victim of rape. Rape of the judicial system in both custody/divorce court and criminal court. This is ridiculous and I'm saddened at what this man has lost.

I'm inclined to be sympathetic with this gent, but this piece is too heavily skewed in his favor, and I'd bet there's more to this story than appears here. If there were really no on-scene evidence of rape, would the cops who responded really be inclined to believe this woman's story? Would the prosecutor really be inclined to prosecute a case with little to no evidence that a crime has been committed?
