Any San Diego DUers remember the Dale Akiki case? Fundies coaching preschoolers to demonize...

an innocent man because of a birth defect that made some of the parents "uncomfortable".
He was a good man who donated his time to the church and was loved by the kids. The church members tried to crucify him.

This poor man was jailed for 30 months without a trial before being acquitted of all charges.

He now has a facebook page and is doing well now after his ordeal.

It was disgusting what these "christians" did to that man. I'm so glad to hear that he is thriving.

With an 11% approval rate after the trial.
He should never had prosecuted this man based on "coached" accusations by preschool children.
Mr.Akiki languished in the SD downtown hell-hole of a jail for 2 1/2 years before he had his day in court.
