Awful case. This type of allegation is easy to make, and how can it be proved, either way?

After Lucy was found, the complainant failed to attend a meeting in August to discuss her testimony, Hummel said. Last Wednesday, one of his investigators heard she was at a home near Redmond. When he pulled up to the driveway, she ran away.

If the dog didn’t $#*+ you must acquit.

“Six months after a jury convicted Horner in a verdict that was not unanimous, he asked the Oregon Innocence Project for help. The group took up his case.”
How do you get convicted in a hung jury?

Confusing story.
The man seems to have been convicted with flimsy evidence and exonerated with equally flimsy evidence.
I guess he could not afford a (good) lawyer.
The accuser should be sued for defamation and much, much more.

In some jurisdictions, a majority verdict is all that is needed.

From another source: "The case went to trial in March 2017 and resulted in a a non-unanimous verdict. Oregon is one of just two states where juries can issue non-unanimous verdicts, except in murder cases."

The other state that allows non-unanimous verdicts is Louisiana.

This little sh1t of a woman needs to serve his 50 year sentence.

Sounds like another Cankles/Omarosa in the making.

I agree. Her lies almost ruined this man’s life and we know it happens all the time. The liar should always get the exact same punishment as the person they lied about. Always. Anything less is NOT justice.

An allegation must be proved and does not need be disproved. There is no proving an allegation either way. That is liberal tripe for logic. Make an allegation and then proclaim that there are two sides to every story.
To: Boomer
I believe they should get a longer sentence. They not only try to frame and screw an innocent man, they use the legal system as a weapon and make fools out of the justice system at the same time, furthering peoples mistrust of already messed up courts.
