"That's a special moment and this weekend is Father's Day and here's a guy who couldn't spend any of those Father's Days with... you know, I mean, his oldest daughter was 12 when he went in, but his two sons were very young," said Andrew Sowards, a retired investigator with the Federal Public Defender's Office. He represented Jones for 11 years.
"She returned to each, from each of those trips looking perfectly fine, according to all the testimony from all the witnesses. And so, to Barry at the time, it was a mystery. Yeah, he had no idea how this child had been hurt," said Sowards. "The disease progression just was too far, and it had... I think one of our experts said it could have been up to a week old. I think the minimum was at least two days old," said Sowards.
"I have believed his innocence since I've known enough about this case to make a decision, and that's been a long time," says Sowards.
