Holy crap. You never really know people. I have known Dale for 30+ years. Since childhood, he was always a stand up guy. Once when a circus he worked at was closing, they were going to euthanize the monkeys, he personally took them in, and cared for them until their deaths of natural causes. He even converted half his house into a crazy enclosure for them. I hope he is innocent...

I don’t understand how this trial can be delayed once again. This young girl has suffered at the hands of this man and expects our system to provide closure and justice. She and her family live with the consequences of this terrible crime and he remains free to walk around and enjoy his freedom . So much for quick justice and speedy trial. Makes me nauseous
