Alamo’s attorney seeks delay in abuse hearing
An attorney for evangelist Tony Alamo on Tuesday requested a delay in his client’s trial, saying he needs more time to investigate the credibility of the girls Alamo is accused of sexually abusing and to examine the locations where the abuse is alleged to have occurred.
“Defense counsel needs a minimum of 120 days before the cause can be tried competently,” defense attorney Danny Davis of Beverly Hills, Calif., wrote. Otherwise, he wrote, the trial “would not be a competent confrontation in our adversarial system, but a stumbling, ad hoc discovery proceeding, where defense counsel learns glimpses of the evidence during the prosecution’s case and makes the best record of constitutional defects that it can.”
