When Glenn Thrush, then a reporter for Newsday, showed the affidavit to Shelton in 2007, he wrote that she was visibly stunned

"But Shelton told Thrush at the time that she bore no ill will toward Clinton.

Shelton’s ire had risen with the 2014 discovery of previously unpublished audio recordings of Clinton discussing the case ...In the recorded interview, Clinton is heard laughing or giggling four times when discussing the case with unusual candor; ..."

The Washington Post is the last place you should go for facts

They are on a campaign against Trump and maybe you are too.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

She has said she was not thrilled with the assignment but felt she had little choice but to take the court appointment

See, see you meanie-old vast right-wing conspirating thugs! Trump went back in time and forced her to take this case!

[milford421]

She also said she took the case as a personal favor to the prosecutor. She did laugh. Read about what she did with the evidence. She is a devil. All of this to a little 12 year old girl.

[ColdOne]

Since this is from WaPo..............I know it is a full on lie.

[Talisker]

There is little indication that the outcome of the case would have been much different, no matter the defense attorney,

The big lie.

...Also that she exhibits an unusual stubbornness and temper when she does not get her way.”

Hmmm... sounds like Hillary.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Evil, untrue SPIN by the COM(munist) Post that Trump is USING this woman for fundraising purposes!

[Redmen4ever]

Cape Fear, the original and remake, tell what a real man would do knowing his client had raped a girl, even though he was a liberal.

There is little indication that the outcome of the case would have been much different, no matter the defense attorney

BS, not everyone is comfortable bullying rape victims..

[Robert DeLong]

well-litigated in the media,

Stopped reading right there, because that is a lie. It was well covered in opposition of the women and in favor of Billy Bob.

[ClearCase_guy]

Attack Trump / defend Hillary

The media have their marching orders.

...

Yep. That makes all the difference. Does the WaPo even mention the recording?

[KosmicKitty]

Old Hill - isn’t she the savior in this story ?

Not,,,,,,

[LegendHasIt]

Much like Bill's defense during his Impeachment Hearing: "It depends on what your meaning of 'is'is,", these are 'facts' only depending on what your definition of 'facts' is.

Although Clinton’s legal maneuver would likely be prohibited today under Arkansas rape shield act, the law was not passed until two years after the case.

A few months ago, someone posted that the reason the rape shield act was enacted in Arkansas was because of this case. Can anyone confirm or refute that.

Investigators mishandled evidence of Taylor’s bloody underwear, cutting out the stain that contained semen for testing and then losing it.

Wasn't it Clinton that mishandled the evidence, by sending it to a lab in NY?

[milford421]

By the way, did you see the wikileaks emails between the Dems and the media? FACT - the media is completely in it with the Democrats and now we have proof positive. I’d post a few of the pertinent ones that name the networks, CNN, Boston Globe, NY Times, etc. before they disappear.

[justlurking]

A question for a real criminal defense attorney, if there's one out there to answer this:

If a defense lawyer knows a client is guilty, what's their ethical obligation?

Do they have any obligations to the court, or just the client?

Can they make crap up (like Clinton did), and justify it as a "vigorous defense"? Or, are they obligated to advise the defendant to confess and take a plea deal?

Are any ethical obligations valid nationwide, or does it vary by state? If it varies, is it any different in Arkansas?

Also that she exhibits an unusual stubbornness and temper when she does not get her way.”

Wow.

The irony.....

[alstewartfan]

There should be one commercial running for Trump to crush the Hillary turnout, and that is an ad explaining the full Kathy Shelton story. WHERE IS THE AD?????

[freeandfreezing]

Shelton’s difficulties as a witness.

That's a pretty ugly thing to say about a 12 year old girl who was violently raped. Democrats like Glenn Thrush are reaching back in time and using the ugly lies that were used to tarnish the victims of rape.

Hey Glenn, did 12 year old Kathy Shelton ask for it? Glenn Thrush should be ashamed of himself.
