I guess I am getting too old and senile.  I missed the part in this article that says he apologized and accepted responsibility.  I'm just not that mentally alert anymore, to have missed that.

I seriously doubt that anyone would apologize if they were really innocent.   Your fears are no doubt unfounded Outsider77.

Other family members must have been willing to testify against him as well.  And in that case, it would be very difficult to not believe that the father was guilty.  

It would be pretty difficult to bring a case to trial 10 years after the fact, if it was only a "he says, she says" situation.   There obviously had to have been additional collaborating testimony.

So I think that you can set your concerns aside here, Outsider77.

It does not seem like this is any miscarriage of justice.
