I'm fairly interested in the criminal sexual assault trial of pastor Terry Hornbuckle going on in Tarrant County.
He's hip, black, and a good dresser, but I digress.
Earlier this week I saw a clip of one of the accuser's civil attorney, one "G. Lee Finley" - an attorney that was so concerned with justice that he sent a demand letter for $2 million before the alleged assault was ever reported to the police. I immediately perked up when I heard his voice on the news a couple of nights ago because he seemed to be the kind of guy that had been rejected for a part in a high school play called "Fake Righteous Indignation." (Please watch his five second rant here).
As to be expected, Hornbuckle's defense attorney's had a field day today questioning the alleged victim as to why she wanted money instead of going to the police.
And I don't know if G. Lee Finley was being referred to tonight when Fox 4 News' Lari Barager reported: "[The alleged victim's] civil attorney had been sitting in and watching the proceedings but he got himself booted today after he had an emotional outburst that was directed at Terry Hornbuckle. He's been told not to come back for the remainder of the trial."

He may be hip but I don't know about hop.
Hey look, it's a Robert Tilton wannabe.
Ha! Wonder what his fee is.
G. Lee Finley sent a demand letter for $2 million before the alleged assault was ever reported to the police, that's odd. By doing this, it almost sounds a little like blackmail.
This guy absolutely disgusts me!
"Mr. Hornbuckle has been in the Tarrant County Jail since March without bail. He has been arrested three times since last year for violating the terms of his release. He tested positive for drugs and did not submit a required urine sample for drug testing. Most recently, he failed to check in with the county to get fitted with an electronic monitor and was arrested two hours after his release."
It seems like he believes he is above the law. I'm not sure if he "raped" these girls, but I do know he was a dope head and a serial adulterer.
He's got 2 things going for him: 1)He has a fantastic Attorney; 2)A woman is prosecuting the case. So many think a woman prosecutor will be more effective in a sexual assault trial; however, I think their emotions usually get the best of them and make them sound ridiculous. Quote from trial --> "The private face was the face that committed sexual assault -- that prayed with these women and then preyed upon these women," Arvin said.
Oh, and if these women don't take his money, you better believe his wife will be taking it all in the divorce as soon as this trial is over.
Mary Mack...I agree 100%, he is disgusting. I've followed this as much as possible since it began and I'll never understand how people get sucked into pseudo godly people like him. Like you, it is all alleged for now, but it would not surprise me AT ALL. I also agree about female prosecutors in sexual assault cases...
it has always amazed me how some people have such charisma that they can convince people to listen to them, even when they are so weird and eccentric as that man.
Mary Mack is freakin HOT!!!!
What's even more disgusting - if you can get more disgusting than Terry Hornbuckle is the fact that high profile witnesses like T.D. Jakes and some Dallas Cowboys. Power must love power. I actually like Jakes, but boy is hurting his credibility by backing Hornbuckle.
Anon 12:50, It worked for Clinton. Like Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute."
Late post request - can anybody fill me in on the TD Jakes involvement with this trial? I keep hearing teasers on the local news, but no real info. Is he "the" TD Jakes, that Potter's House pastor, the one Bush gave millions in grant money to recently, the one who was just covered in this month's Texas Monthly?
So let me get this straight...the rape victim's mom and stepdad decided to carry on like nothing happened until they could decide what to do???? (It would take me about 3 seconds to decide to pick up the phone and call the police.) And then they decided to find a civil attorney and demand 2 million bucks before they went to the cops? So if he had paid the 2 million dollars, then they wouldn’t have filed the civil lawsuit??? And the rape victim’s aunt and brother are also suing the Defendant for $$$???
The irony is Mr Finley has been accused of rape himself. And he is currently under federal investigation for no other than... extortion. I use to be the paralegal for a company that was sued by the law firm that Finley works at. (that firm is also the target of a federal investigation) He lies in court, has been sanctioned by the Judge for openly lying in his courtroom and has a small man complex. That was also G. Lee Finley who was tossed from the courtroom.
