Not sure wth this question from McCraney's attorney has to do with anything but... okay.

David Harrison, defense attorney: Forensic report mentions semen found but no explicit mention of rape. It should be noted that Beasley was underage at the time.

Bryan: It was rape based on McCraney denying knowing the girls, never coming forward in investigation. #BeasleyHawlettCase

Harrison: Finding McCraney's semen in J.B.'s body does not mean he raped her. Bryan: It is because he contradicted his previous statement of not knowing the girls. #BeasleyHawlettCase

Harrison: McCraney asked for a lawyer eight times. Police said there was not one. Bryan: McCraney asked if there was a lawyer at the location at the moment. There wasn't. McCraney only asked for an attorney once. #BeasleyHawlettCase

Oh dear Lord, y'all. I'm not one to disparage LE... and I don't mean to.. but this worries me.

Harrison says video shows interrogators questioning after McCraney requested a lawyer. Prosecution objected to Harrison's questioning, saying he was badgering Bryan. #BeasleyHawlettCase
