He does not have the money to hire an attny. He has made countless recordings of her threats left on his cell phone. She has even gone to the lengths of telling the child (on one recorded msg) to tell his father he hates him. The child refuses and tells the mother to do it. She again instructs the child to tell his father he hates him. The child is obviously stressed and again refuses. What can one do in this situation with zero funds to aquire an attorney?

Here in New Hampshire, we have a court rule prohibiting any party from directly contacting jurors for at least 30 days after verdict. The obvious purpose of the rule is that jurors are less effective if they have to fear being subject to intimidation and harassment. I'd like to think if a prosecutor did anything like that, he or she would be sanctioned by the trial court, and subject to ethical sanctions by the professional conduct committee. Congratulations on the acquittal! What that prosecutor did was totally outrageous.

Even before any hearing is held in the case or formal charges are filed, the accused is damaged for life. DHS is already on them, their employer more than likely dismisses them, and they of course have to endure the humility of being on the 6 o clock news and on the webcast of that news report for life. It's a horrible horrible situation just to be accused. The only solution would be to require states to limit media exposure until formal charges are filed What most people don’t realize is that a simple allegation can easily get out of hand and once it gets out it’s out there forever.

I called Red Ball after the Supreme Court Ruling, to charter a bus from them to pick up children from San Antonio to San Angelo. The charge would have been $2,400.00 per bus with a driver. Using the States LOWEST figures it supplied, and estimating each bus to cost $4,000.00 PER CHARTER, THE STATE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST 300 BUSSES ROLLING OUT OF THE STOCKADE TO TAKE THE CHILDREN TO PRISON IN APRIL. THAT MEANS THAT 300 BUSSES WERE USED TO TRANSPORT 465 CHILDREN, OR, LESS THAN 2 CHILDREN PER BUS. THE COST SO FAR CLAIMED BY THE STATE IS 27 MILLION DOLLARS, AND THAT IS THROUGH 6/14/08.

THE TRUE COST IS BETWEEN 35 TO 40 MILLION, AND THAT'S BEFORE THE FIRST DAMAGES AWARD THAT WAS FILED FOR TWO DAYS AGO BY A TWO YEAR OLD BOY.

The estimate for the State of Texas is well above 30 million in tax payer money.
