And that is exactly what happened: McGarity confessed to criminal trespass (we have the trial transcript to prove it), was acquitted, and proceeded to sue me, the victim of his crime.
Lara McCauley Alvis played a prominent role in the cheat job I have experienced. Now she and her hubby, Barry Alvis, are representing a man who has confessed to molesting at least 21 girls. I've learned this about Shelby County Courts: Just because a defendant confesses to a crime, it does not mean he will be found guilty.
Daniel M. Acker Jr. could not have chosen a more "connected" criminal-defense law firm in Shelby County. Thanks to that firm's ties to Lindsey Allison and other power brokers, I strongly doubt that true justice ever will be served in a monstrous case of child sexual abuse.
Here's the big question hanging over the Acker case: True justice likely will come only in the civil arena. Will the victims and their families be able to find an Alabama lawyer who is willing to sue the Shelby County sleaze balls who allowed this to happen? If so, what will the discovery process reveal about the widespread official corruption that has a grip on this conservative, "family values" stronghold?
