That's exactly why it was so shocking to see him take such a harsh sentence. Typically in a case like this, the verdict is going to side with the defense because if it didn't, anyone could start throwing wild accusations with no evidence in hopes of a conviction. The fact that it was a twenty year old case with twenty year old evidence and the lawyers couldn't overcome that or even plea bargain him down to a lesser crime tells me that his lawyers weren't really looking out for his best interest, but wanted to get through the system as fast as possible to avoid too bright a spotlight on Scientology.
I'm not disagreeing with you but, if his lawyers were that bad, how has he not appealed based on ineffective representation?
He's a stooge to the Church. He is either a true believer, or the cult has even worse things on him.
Really interesting read, thanks for contributing.
