I can only speculate, I don’t even have an opinion, just speculation based on what little factual information I can find on msm.
When I read the court papers posted here on FH’s previous conviction of gang rape, him and 2 other men abducted the victim (6 months pregnant!), at a bus stop at gunpoint and took her to a house where there were another 4 men, all 7 were charged with gang rape I think. One thing that struck me was the objections by the prosecution over the contradictions in FH’s testimony over whether his brother had intercourse with the victim. FH testified that he and his brother did not, and also said he did not know. The defense wanted a mistrial over the judge’s handling of this contradiction in testimony in court and was denied.
“The appellant testified that he did not have sex with L.C. and that he did not see his brother Timothy having sex with her. R. 391. On cross-examination of the appellant, the assistant district attorney inquired, "[N]either you nor Timothy ever had sex with [L.C.]?" The appellant answered, *102 "I don't know if Timothy did." R. 395. The following then occurred:
"Q. [ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY:] I thought you said a while ago that you knew for a fact that Timothy didn't? "[DEFENSE COUNSEL]: See, that's what I'm talking about. He's been continually doing that, stating things as facts, and assuming them in his questions that are not in evidence. It's improper and we object to it. "THE COURT: Overruled.... He asked him if Tim had sex with her and he said no.””
Hampton v. State
It struck me because of FH’s extreme loyalty to protect a co defendant, under oath, when their main defense was that the sex was consensual and she came with them willingly.
From the same link: Hampton v. State
FH: “"He [Timothy] said he did, but I didn't see him." R. 397.
Later, Timothy Hampton took the stand and admitted that he and L.C. had engaged in sexual intercourse, but he claimed that the act was done with L.C.'s consent.”
And regarding whether FH was in the Tin Roof, I can only find statements from LE that PH left the bar with,“someone”, I can’t find a definitive statement from LE that FH was at the bar.
If anyone has a link with LE saying that FH was at the Tin Roof, please link me.
I’m not saying he wasn’t, I just don’t know.
Perhaps he was just the clean up guy, after the fact, he’s not the only bad guy in town and he knows at least 6 other bad guys, we know from his previous conviction.
Maybe they brought cadaver dogs into the house when they searched and got a hit, and maybe they got a hit from dogs on FH’s car at that time, as well. Maybe they got his phone records showing him traveling from the house where she died to Hueytown late that night, too, if he was dumb enough to take his phone in the heat of the moment. Or maybe a concerned citizen, or two, in Hueytown saw his car that night, recognized it, and called it in after reading about PH missing, arousing their suspicion based on his reputation.
Maybe by the time they searched the house, FH has already snuck away, leaving his car at the house. I think he’s probably done enough crime to know if you want to hide, don’t drive your own car. It seems like he left his phone this time or LE would already have him.
I don’t think FH is the only person that was with PH that night. She didn’t text, “I don’t know this person”, she said “people”.
I think it’s complicated and while LE may have the evidence that FH buried her body, I think, maybe, they don’t have the full story yet, because of “honor amongst thieves” to cover for each other.
