Hooray for School Teacher's Acquittal

Georgia school teacher Tonya Craft was recently found not guilty of molesting three young girls, including her own daughter. She was acquitted mainly because prosecutors could not produce any physical evidence of her alleged crimes. In addition, the kids who took the witness stand against her provided questionable testimony.

Although the battle for her freedom is now over, Craft's life has been wrecked as result of these charges that were brought against her two years ago. She has been fired from her job, lost her home, and lost custody of her child. In addition, she has had to endure death threats, which may continue indefinitely. Any idiot caught making those kinds of threats should be sent to prison for life.

Ms. Craft is now planning to fight for the return of her child and then attend law school. I hope she gets her child back without any resistance from self-righteous social workers and soon rebuilds her life. I wish her much success in law school and I hope she goes on to became a very successful lawyer who will defend others of the kinds of false and unjust charges that she has had to face.

Great article. Well done.
 
Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? This situation prevents us with a choice: give her, her job and daughter back or your always 'guilty' of the crime your accused of. If you find someone innocent then you have to honor that.

I suspect its just fear that is keeping her daughter away and her job.

Hi Connor, that's an excellent point. There shouldn't be a penalty for simply being accused of something. But very often there is, as in this case. That is so unfair. Anyone can be accused of anything.
