It’s about time the this case will come to trial. Two years is a long time to wait.  Justice must be served for this young girl who can no longer speak for herself.  Kudo’s to the family for hanging in there on this one.

put that fat nasty scumbag behind bars for the rest of his fat life. Not bad enough what he did to her and she lived with it until the day her little life was cut short, his should be just as short.

I’M NOT DEFENDING THE GUY, AND I’M NOT SAYING HE ISN’T GUILTY!!!

I’m just worried about this being the precedent for a future case. Witnesses do recant on statements. Think about the Duke Lacrosse case. If that lady had died in a car accident BEFORE she recanted her story, you could have three innocent guys in prison based on the stories told to others.

Hearsay??? BOTH Rebecca and my sister told numerous people. Including doctors, family, friends. I tell you what sounds to me that maybe you are defending a man that has torn a childs life apart. Which now neither one of them have a life and are both in heaven. But let this happen to one of your children or close family members. Go through that then also go through loosing them in both tragic accidents. Living at the hospital for an entire week watching them die. Then you tell me about HEARSAY!!! If you don’t know the facts to these cases SHUT UP!!! Plain and simple.

There are about 30 exceptions to the hear-say law, if one or more is applicable, hear-say is allowed to be admitted into testimony.

Hear-say: Law Evidence based on the reports of others rather than the personal knowledge of a witness and therefore generally not admissible as testimony.
Key word: generally

“Hearsay is the legal term that describes statements made outside of court or other judicial proceedings…The theory of the rule excluding hearsay is that assertions made by human beings are often unreliable; such statements are often insincere, subject to flaws in memory and perception, or infected with errors in narration at the time they are given.”

Finally! This took long enough. I hope he get’s what he desired. Nasty Nasty MAN. R.I.P Rebecca

Hear-say: unverified, unofficial information gained or acquired from another and not part of one’s direct knowledge. The friend gained the information via direct knowledge from the Rebecca, the one with direct knowledge.

Isn’t all of that testamony considered “hearsay”?

Seems like this will open a lot of windows for other cases to go to trail.
