Mother Wrongly Convicted - Lorinda Irene Swain

[Try2Win]

Lorinda currently has a pending Federal Court appeal open (writ of habeas corpus); her last shot at a new trial.

Ronnie admitted afterwards, and continues to admit, that he lied about the entire abuse

I don't understand, if the child said he lied and continues to say he lied, how/why the conviction?

That is such a strong sentence, 25-50 years. There is definately something wrong with our judicial system. If one can be incarcerated only due to hear say, we really need to change things. Three is nothing that links her to this sexual abuse, and yet, there she sits....

I hope she wins her new trial.

"Hallacy told 24 Hour News 8 there's one key fact: the jury heard Ronnie be unsure of his testimony on the stand and still found Lorinda guilty. For Hallacy, that's why his recantation hasn't been reason enough for a new trial."

I have to wonder why the jury convicted if it showed he was unsure of his testimony. This is disturbing and I hope somebody listens to her. This is scary.

I hope this woman wins a new trial.

I am just shocked that she was convicted without any physical evidence. It seems like all they had was the word of a 13 year old child. That is just insane. You can't convict someone on just the testimony of one person. Just appalling.

It is appalling, and it happens more than you might think.

You've got that right!

I don't believe him. I think the truth was told long ago. There is a lot to be said about recovering from trauma. One is that the abused can't believe it wasn't some how their fault. It takes years to come to the truth and being able to put a label on it. There is also the factor of feeling somehow responsible for that parent being punished. Those hidden strings stay there for years. The abuse by a caretaker is soul murder. It puts the abused in a very bad place. You love the one that abused you. You sure don't want to see them punished. You just want it to stop. The guilt would be heavy on him today. After all, he caused it. It is exactly why he comes today to tell a different story.

In this case, it seems like nothing ever happened. While lie detector tests are not admissable in a court of law, she passed with flying colors, no deception at all. His test showed truthful when he said he lied about the sexual abuse. He also mentions his step brother who gave him weed and let him watch dirty movies, why do you suppose that is mentioned.

I think this case needs to be looked at again, there must be a new trial. Nothing links this woman to any wrongdoing.
