DARLINGTON, S.C. - A jury has found a convicted sex offender accused of raping two teen girls in an underground bunker not guilty of kidnapping, sex crimes and assault with intent to kill.
Kenneth Glenn Hinson wiped his eyes and mouth and appeared to cry after the jury read its verdict, which followed about four hours of deliberations over two days.
If convicted, Hinson had faced a mandatory life sentence without parole under the state's two-strikes law because he was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl in 1991.

They must have discovered something that just did not lead them to believe the two girls were credible in their version of the story.
Considering what some of the teenagers I knew did many years ago, a not unlikely possability.

“””convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl in 1991.””””
So why is he still alive?
I know ~ they told him if he raped anymore 12yo girls, he would get a good stern talking to and possibly some community service.

because he was convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl in 1991. Bastard should have been executed for this.

Yes, always best to hear the evidence before passing judgment.

“A defense witness, Tim Beasley, said that at a house where he had bought drugs, he overheard one of the teens tell a woman the two girls made up the kidnapping story because they had stolen marijuana from Hinson’s underground room and were afraid he would retaliate.”

A reaction to Crystal Magnum’s lies and the Mike Nifong/Johnny Sutton scandals?

A defense witness testified that the girls said they made up the story because they stole marijuana from the alleged perp and were afraid he’d go after them.

They should have had Nifong on the case.

“A defense witness, Tim Beasley, said that at a house where he had bought drugs, he overheard one of the teens tell a woman the two girls made up the kidnapping story because they had stolen marijuana from Hinson’s underground room and were afraid he would retaliate.”Will the girls now be prosecuted for bring false charges?
