     The victim’s car crashed into a fence and two men were seen headed west on Rigsby in a small, blue two-door car, Bell said.

Former Cop Swayed Decision In Sexual Abuse Case

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

A juror in the trial of a former juvenile prison principal acquitted of sexually abusing inmates said that a former police officer on the jury helped sway many who initially believed the ex administrator was guilty.  Nancy gray said the officer did a lot of talking about reasonable doubt to the eight who believed John Paul Hernandez was guilty when deliberations started.

A lot of people changed their minds because he kept saying pressing the point that he had to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, said gray who was the last to agree to the not guilty verdicts.  I was the holdout, all the way through and it was hard.

Hernandez was accused of sexually abusing five inmates at the west Texas State School in Pyote in 2004 and 2005.  He was found not guilty on 14 counts in 11 indictments including sexual assault and had faced up to 20 years in prison.
