The Firm is filing a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in a
case where the alleged victim of a capital sexual battery
recanted her trial testimony and gave a statement in our office
explaining that she wanted to come forward and correct what she
testified to at trial under pressure when she was a juvenile.
The victim states that she was never raped and that she was
pressured by the police, the prosecutor, and even her own mother
to testify at trial and that none of these adults accepted her
assertions when she was a juvenile that the police had arrested
the wrong man for the alleged capital sexual battery.
