What is the name of your state? Kentucky.
Two men forced their way into a house and held
a family hostage for 5 hours. The family consisted
of a father, a mother, and three kids. One of the
men forced the father to drink. The other man took
10 dollars. The family was tied up, but later was
untied because the kids were upset. The two men
then forced the father to drive them to the get
away car. The family waited 5 hours till they
sobered up, then called their attorney. The
attorney told them to call the police and the two
men were later picked up. They were charged
with:
KRS Code: 511.020
Offense: BURGLARY IN THE 1ST DEGREE

KRS Code: 509.020
Offense: UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT 1ST DEGREE
http://www.lrc.state.ky.us/krs/509-00/020.pdf
During the trial the father said he was sodomized
and attacked. When the attorney of the above
defendant's asked why it was not in the original
charges they replied they forgot to include it in
the reports (and are not there to this day). The
judge allowed the jury to hear this. The lawyer did
ask for a mistrial. This happened two other times
on different issues (sparing all details, they are
not as bad as the above).
It is my understanding that the father committed a
crime and should have charges filled against him.
After reviewing all records and watching the court
video, I think there is enough evidence for a
retrial (I am not a lawyer).
My question to you all is, does this sound like
there was purgery, and what steps, if any, should
be taken to get a retrial?
Thanks for your time.
