The case against pastor Matthew Brown is heading to trial. He is accused of inappropriately touching a student and sending lewd messages on Facebook. His attorney plans to question the credibility of the witness.
Brown's attorney says he's not confident that the testimony of the 16 year old will hold up well in court because the girl couldn't pinpoint the exact date when the incidents occurred and adds that she was never alone with the minister for the incidents to have happened in the first place.
Of course, the jury will see the Facebook evidence too, which means I expect Brown will plead out. He has no way of explaining his lewd messages.
