	The_Beedle writes "Aleck J. Carpitcher, sentenced to 38 years for molesting an 11 year old girl, has lost his appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court. Carpitchers accuser recanted her testimony nine months after he was convicted in 1999. There was no physical or corroborative evidence. This appeal challenged a Virginia law prohibiting introduction of new evidence more than 21 days after conviction. Roanoke Times Story There was a Men's Activism story two years ago about this, before the appeal: Men's Activism Thread from 2002 And of course, it made News of the Weird this week: Fourth Bullet under 'Can't Possibly be True'"
