Team Talarico completely ignoring context and the facts around a case again!
A jury hung.
They started off 6-6, and became 7-5. The judge then declared a mistrial, and the child victim did not want to testify again.
The victim's testimony, is cited as a probable reason the jury hung, as the child had recanted and changed portions of his account. So the jury was split.
So after this what was done?
After the trial ended, the prosecutors Branda Cantu, and Dorian Cotlar, (huh neither of these are Ken Paxton) offered a deal.
Neither were new to the job. Cantu appears to have negotiated the deal, and after the judge suggested a longer sentence, then renegotiated a 30 day sentence, after which the mother of the victim said it wasn't enough, and the judge ordered a 60 day jail sentence.
Why didn't Hoffman end up on the sex offender registry?
The two crimes Hoffman pleaded guilty to, Indecent Assault and Display of Harmful Material to a Minor, are Class A misdemeanors and are not reportable convictions under Texas's sex offender registration law.
Hoffman has since moved to Nebraska, and due to Nebraska laws, he is a registered sex offender in that state, due to his conviction in Texas.
Texan calls out Ken Paxton at rally for protecting pedophiles:
“It was a 7-year-old boy! Adam Hoffman is free because of you! You protect pedophiles!”
