They need to lock this POS away for good and throw away the key.

This douchebag needs the hammer dropped on him. He is probably a severe alcoholic, and about two to three years in jail would likely get him sober and MAYBE back on the right path of life. But I want to push back on one thing: I don’t know Brad Hutto from Adam’s housecat, but he DID NOT “slut shame” anybody; I read that embedded link, and the originating story. People have cast around that statement/term in ways beyond its original usage. “Slut shaming” was a tactic of calling out all the OTHER sexual encounters that a woman has had with OTHER men occuring prior to and subsequent to the incident in question, so as to create the inference that the girl is loose and doesn’t really say no to anybody else, and therefore she consented in the incident in question. Hutto DID NOT do that (at least none of the article indicate that) , he questioned one of the accusing girls about her actions AT THAT INCIDENT in question – not a bunch of other incidents with other people- and pointed out that her conduct at that time, with his client, and the fact that she never said or did anything contemporaneous to that event that would have indicated that it was not consensual. That approach is completely above-board, fair game, and it reflects a fact of life: sometimes people get a little drunk and hook up/mess around/ and even go all the way and then later regret it, or decide that they really dislike the other person and therefor try to cry rape. That type of conduct was not at all uncommon by white women who secretly had sex with black men in the South decades and generations ago and then became pregnant or were discovered. And some innocent black men died or went to jail for life for it. There wasn’t some switch that flipped in the 1990s and all women just stopped doing that, and a good lawyer should not shrink away from those uncomfortable topics in the defense of their client – it would be malpractice to do so if there was reasonable evidence to support the argument. HUTTO WAS DOING HIS JOB, AND WAS NOT “SLUT-SHAMING.” FITS FRANKLY OWES HIM A PUBLIC APOLOGY.
