The child, now 12, ran away from home one day after Morse pulled her out of the family car and dragged her across a gravel driveway. That incident triggered an 18-month investigation and charges against Morse and his companion Pauline Morse, but her charges were reduced when she agreed to testify for the prosecution.
The case in Sussex County Superior Court revolved around two completely different accounts of family life: the girl described constant criticism and punishment at the hands of her stepfather, while Morse painted himself as a caring and attentive parent.

very interesting case. the daughter was clearly caught lying yet he still was convicted. He must have been very unbelievable on the stand and i think him writing those books really hurt him.
12:04-Facebook cooked his goose.His entire page was downloaded and copied just after his initial arrest.Those contents cast a stigma over the trial before it even took place.
This man is evil. Put him away for a lng time. This jury got the job done right.
I for one am not always in agreement with juries,but they got this one right.
