yes, i guess we do. Do you think if they were the kids of the "upper crust" they would be working there anyway.

QUOTE Newbie, Did you even read the report submitted by the state??
They ADMITTED the abuse.
Repeat...ADMITTED to the abuse.
To the GS interviewers, the state, the police.
This is validated by the state and the witness'.
What more do you want?
Facts are facts and you can't wash it away.
Abuse is abuse. And admitted abuse is admitted abuse.
Funny thing is....admittance of abuse doesn't necessarily mean it's admissible evidence in a court trial and, if it is, it doesn't mean the defendant is going to testify to it....or even take the stand to testify.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that not everything is as easy as it seems, even when they have witnesses, and in this case, they don't have any REAL witnesses to testify about the abuse.
And....having a disturbing report that has been made public, and is being used in "publicity" it's going to continue to lose any potential it may have at being used in a trial because the more people who know, the less people there is to select for a jury trial.

BusyBee,
How will they explain away the video interviews and what was stated??
And the State finding evidence to make claims.
By "real" witness' you mean those of sound mind?
Gee, I don' know,
what do they do when the abuse involves an infant or a small child who cannot speak on their own behalf, whether it be physical, emotional, or sexual?
It won't be tried in court and if it is probably a change of venue due to all the pre-trial publicity, don't ya think?!
They won't need to worry about local jury pools.

When I lived in town I was "upper crust" and I had a job....maybe their parents paid to have their names not in the media.. Albert Lea is good for that..
Or maybe they are all Craig Nelson's kids.

I predict that Good Sam will be sold and the business will have a new name when it is all said and done.
This is a sad day in Albert Lea history.
