No Gun, No Defense

[Moveon]

For what? He was a thief. he was doing his job, stealing.Thats what a sleazy lawyer would say, it was a workers comp case.In MHO the worst crooks and charlatans have law degrees. First amongmost offensive offensive caracters are career politicians. Second are many MBAs.

Back when I was younger we had a then Fireman accused of kidnapping a young girl and murdering her. He hired a local attorney to defend him. He was never charged due to a lack of evidence. But the parents of the little girl sued the suspect and won the case. This was one of the first cases of this type. Before anyone accused of murder would be pursued by the local DA and put in prison. Stanton Gash was the name of the guy who was suspected of killing the girl. The girls family lives in a gated community in what we call Christmas Lake Village in Southern IN. Stanton Gash was an Evansville, IN fireman at the time and also lived in Christmas Lake Village. He was seen by a farmer in a field off the road next to the woods were the body of the young girl was found many days later after she went missin. Stanton had driven off the road and got his vehicle stuck. A farmer saw him and helped him get his vehicle unstuck and back on it's way. Only later did they find the body near where the vehicle got stuck. Stanton claimed he pulled off the road and got stuck while trying to releive himself. No one thought anything of that until later when the body of the young girl was discovered near by. After the body was discovered the main suspect in the case was Stanton Gash. The evidence pointed to him for some people but the DA didn't press charges for lack of evidence that would hold up in court. Stanton Gash move to Florida and last I heard he committed suscide right after new evidence came to light and local investigators went to Florida to try to interview him.

Now it's a common occurance for the type of lawsuits to happen. Right now we have anohter local case that didn't get the full convictions that the local prosecurtor ask for. The perp was convicted of some offenses but not murder. So the victim's family is filling a wrongful death law suit against the man.
