“My main defense was one of an accident,” Earl Gray, a high profile defense attorney who was Merkt's lawyer said. “He woke up from a nap, and found her at the bottom of the stairs.”
Oh, it was a whopper. The attorney gave this tear jerk plea:
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury; MacKenzie wandered outside (in the winter), was been hit by a car, (yup, had to be a hit and run) and was raped, then came back into the house . . . and golly, my client Brian somehow got this 3 year old's DNA on the inside of his underwear when he was cleaning her up. Yeah, REALLY!! Y'all got that now, right?
