Texas Court Sees No Evidence of Abuse

 

 

        

a)      only five of the female children seized were pregnant or had delivered a child and there was no evidence introduced that any pregnancy was the result of a forced marriage or coupling;

b)      there was no evidence of abuse of any of the male children seized;

c)      there was no evidence that any of the infant, preschool, or preteen girls had suffered or were in imminent danger of suffering abuse; and

d)      the much publicized initial phone call was apparently a hoax.

    The numerous Texas attorneys who volunteered their time to represent the children against the state performed a noble service to the community and the profession. Now if only that same crew could work toward slowing down or eliminating the state’s capital punishment killing machine.
