Dad Accused of Destroying Evidence in Child Molestation Case Sentenced

John & Jim, so what say you to the fact that the son who exposed the molestation and acted to PROTECT the children is the one that nobody is talking to in the family? Why is THAT son "estranged?" and not being applauded for his integrity by his father?

He was railroaded and anyone who knows the facts of this case knows that. The feds already had what was on the hard drive that he wished to be destroyed. I wouldn't want it in my home either nor would I want it to get into anyone else's hands by accident and used in another computer. Atkinson III had a high political profile and had to be taken down a few notches. This is the only reason he was prosecuted. No crime was committed by him and he shouldn't have been prosecuted. At least he was given a fairly light sentence considering what he could have gotten. It would seem Mr. Jordan did a fairly good job on Mr. Atkinson III's behalf considering the sentence received. No one, not even Mr. Jordan, can get a jury to think or even find a jury that can think critically and analytically. Jury trials are a crap shoot at best.

This is bogus. Atkinson ordered his "copy" of the evidence destroyed after the authorities had theirs. It is understandable that a Christan man would not want such filth under his roof. Atkinson did nothing wrong. His son may have.
