^ I agree that the defense has a right to full disclosure and I'm not really sure what's going on behind the scenes, but Kibby's attorney isn't screaming about his client's rights being violated in general -- he's addressing state's motions and requests point by point when they arise (and, so far, he's doing a fine job).
Today is the first time that anything has been released directly stating that Abigail Hernandez was forcibly and violently abducted on her way home from school by someone unknown to her.
Snip:
The New Hampshire teenager who returned nine months after she vanished on the way home from school was violently abducted by a stranger and "suffered numerous acts of unspeakable violence" for many months, her lawyers said in a statement.
The three lawyers put out a statement Tuesday on behalf of Abigail Hernandez and her mother. It was featured on the "Bring Abby Home" website created after the 14-year-old disappeared Oct. 9 on her way home from school in Conway, a small tourist town in northeastern New Hampshire.
"For many months, she suffered numerous acts of unspeakable violence," the statement said. Now 15, she's home with her family "through her faith, fortitude and resilience."
"Abby needs and wants some time and space to physically and emotionally heal," said the statement issued by attorney Michael Coyne, dean-elect of the Massachusetts School of Law, and two other lawyers. "It is going to be a long process in pursuit of justice for Abby and for Abby to get physically and emotionally stronger. We do not intend to have this case tried in the press."
"As the justice system moves forward, and the evidence is revealed, questions about this horrific event will be answered," the statement said.
Coyne told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he "would expect that there will be further charges consistent with the evidence in the case."
Coyne said they put out the statement to shield Hernandez and the family from the intense interest her case has generated.
