Article in the Tennessean
This is an article that ran in the Tennessean where Benjie Lee's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss the charges against Mr. Lee due to the sequestration. It is doubtful this motion will be successful and frankly is a joke! However, desperate times call for desperate measures. The fact that Mr. Lee's attorneys have had over a year to prepare for the first trial and since the date for the new trial has been moved to October they have more than ample time to prepare for it. Our opinion is that if Mr. Lee's attorneys truly want to help their client they would advice him to cooperate with the Justice Department and tell them the exact level of involvement Sheriff Davis played in the second beating of Darrin in the jail and what happened after the video of Darrin's beating on the scene stopped. If the roles were reversed we have little doubt that Sheriff Davis would throw him under a bus to save his own butt. It is sad that Mr. Lee would rather face ten years in prison away from his family to protect an "alleged" corrupt Sheriff.
Well said
