The discovery of a black Lab named Lucy led to the unravelling of a criminal case Monday against an Oregon man who had begun serving a 50-year prison sentence.
Joshua Horner, a plumber from the central Oregon town of Redmond, was convicted on April 12, 2017, of sexual abuse of a minor.
In the trial, the complainant testified Horner had threatened to shoot her animals if she went to the police about the alleged molestation, and said she saw him shoot and kill her dog to make his point.
Six months after a jury convicted Horner in a verdict that was not unanimous, he asked the Oregon Innocence Project for help. The group took up his case.
When the group raised concerns in April about the case with Deschutes County District Attorney John Hummel, he agreed to work with them.
Horner had insisted he never shot the dog. Finding the dog would show the complainant had lied under oath. But if it was alive, where was it?
So they dragged this guy’s name through the mud and destroyed his life, but they won’t release the name of the lying sack that was perfectly willing to let him rot in prison for 50 years. Why? Because they want to protect potential victims so they aren’t afraid to report crimes. Great, how about protecting future victims of the psycho liar in this case so everyone can avoid her like the plague she is?

BULLSHIT!!!!
