Baton Rouge Man Convicted of Raping 8 year old girl

Color me shocked

The victim was helped in giving her testimony by the presence of Diesel, a Labrador/golden retriever mix, who was present as an emotional support dog. In so doing, Diesel, who serves as “facility dog” for the District Attorney's Office, made a small bit of local court history — a support dog had not been used before in a jury trial in Baton Rouge.

Stephen Moore, Tipton's defense attorney, had argued prior to trial that Diesel’s presence was unnecessary and that he was simply there as a “sympathy dog” meant to sway the jury. Judge Beau Higginbotham, however, disagreed and allowed Diesel to stay.

Stephen Moore, who is Hillar Moore's brother, did not respond to a message left Monday at his office seeking comment.

Found that interesting

Also, it doesn’t mention why the guy was around the kid…was he a neighbor? Moms boyfriend?

I’m sure he will earn a basic college degree, he fed three hot meals a day, and burn through millions of taxpayers dollar over the next 40 years he’s in prison.

We can only hope he doesn’t last more than a few months once he gets into prison and everybody finds out what he did to get in there

Also curious as to what the OP means by this. Is there something to add here..??

He was a personal trainer and fitness coach here. He convinced everyone that although he wore an ankle bracelet, he was actually set up by his ex-girlfriend. Almost everyone bought it. Most sociopaths are very convincing and manipulative. He was in the local gym in Vidalia every morning training someone. He did meal plans for weight loss for tons of people here, including myself. By all accounts he knew fitness and nutrion and body-building. Heck, he got engaged and had a child a little over a year ago.
Fooled all of us.

He deserves to hang.
