RAIN CHANCES GO HIGHER AGAIN...
2-SHANNON:FIRST AT 6 --
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE
EXPECTED TO RALLY OUTSIDE THE
WILLIAMSON COUNTY COURTHOUSE
TONIGHT -- IN SUPPORT OF GREG
KELLEY.THEY ARE CONVINCED HE
WAS WRONGLY CONVICTED OF
SEXUALLY ASSAULTING A CHILD.
2-ROBERT: KELLEY IS 3 YEARS
INTO A 25 YEAR SENTENCE. IN
THAT TIME HIS APPEALS FOR A
NEW HEARING HAVE ALL BEEN
DENIED - UNTIL NOW. A WEEK AGO
- THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY
RE-OPENED THE CASE.TODAY HE
CONFIRMED TO KXAN AN
INVESTIGATION INTO AN
"ALTERNATE" SUSPECT. 2-SHANNON:
KXAN'S ALICIA INNS HAS BEEN
WORKING TO UNCOVER MORE FOR
US. ALICIA THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IS LOOKING
AT NEW EVIDENCE FROM KELLEY'S
ATTORNEY, WHICH INDICATES A
FRIEND OF KELLEY'S MAY HAVE
BEEN INVOLVED IN THE ASSAULT.
ALICIAJOHNATHAN MCCARTY HAS
áNOT BEEN CHARGED BUT IS BEING
INVESTIGATED AS THE ALTERNATE
SUSPECT IN THIS CASE.THIS MUG
SHOT IS FROM A PREVIOUS DRUG
CONVICTION.HERE'S WHAT I'VE
LEARNED ABOUT HIM AND WHERE
THE CASE HAS COME IN JUST ONE
WEEKS TIME... WILLIAMSON
COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHAWN
DICK SAYS: " I HOPE THE PUBLIC
UNDERSTANDS IT'S IMPORTANT TO
BE PATIENTALICIA: EVIDENCE AND
DOCUMENTS UNSEALED NEARLY 3
KELLEY WAS CONVICTED AND SENT
TO JAIL...PATIENCE FOR HIM
TAKES ON A WHOLE NEW MEANING.
GREG KELLEY SAYS: "THERE'S A
PLAN IN MY LIFE, A GREATER
PURPOSE AND I'M JUST READY TO
GO HOME,"ALICIA: KELLEY'S
DEFENSE POINTS TO THE WAY THIS
CASE WAS HANDLED...KELLEY'S
DEFENSE ATTORNEY KEITH HAMPTON
SAYS: "THE CASE WAS SIMPLY
WOEFULLY UNDERINVESTIGATED"
ALICIA: NOW THEY SAY THERE IS
ENOUGH "CREDIBLE EVIDENCE"..TO
PROVE HE'S INNOCENT.HAMPTON
SAYS: "THERE WAS SOMEBODY IN
THE MCCARTY HOME. EXACTLY ONE
PERSON AND THAT PERSON HAS
NAKED PICTURES OF LITTLE KIDS
ON HIS CELL PHONE AND COMPUTER"
ALICIA: JOHNATHAN MCCARTY -
SEEN HERE ARRESETED FOR DRUG
CHARGES, HAS NOT BEEN CHARGED
IN THIS CASE.BUT THAT'S WHO
THE FOCUS IS CENTERED ON NOW.
HIS MOTHER OPERATED THE IN-
HOME DAYCARE WHERE THE 4-YEAR-
OLD VICTIM SAID HE WAS
ASSAULTED.AND KELLEY'S DEFENSE
TEAM SAYS THEY HAVE SOMEONE
WHO OVERHEARD MCCARTY ADMIT TO
THE CRIME. HOWEVER...THE
CONFUSION CONTINUES AS TO WHY
HE WASN'T INVESTIGATED IN THE
FIRST PLACE. HAMPTON SAYS: MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THEY ATTMPTED
TO. THE MYSTERY TO ME IS WHY
THEY NEVER PROSECUTED HIM
BECAUSE THEY DID HAVE EVIDENCE
THAT HE WAS THE CULPRIT."CEDAR
PARK'S POLICE CHIEF HAS SAID
INVESTIGATORS FOCUSED ON THE
FACT THE VICTIM KNEW KELLEY
AND POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED HIM
AS THE ABUSER. PAM BRIMBERRY,
KELLEY FAMILY FRIEND: "BEFORE,
WE COULDN'T GET ANYWHERE. THE
ATTORNEY WOULD GO AND TRY TO
MEET WITH THE DA AND THE ADAS
AND THEY WOULD JUST BASICALLY
LAUGH HIM OUT THE DOOR AND SAY
THERE'S NOTHING HERE." MCCARTY
HAS BEEN IN THE WILLIAMSON
COUNTY JAIL SINCE MAY 25TH,
AND IS BEING HELD ON $450-
THOUSAND DOLLAR BOND FOR THE
PROBATION VIOLATION.THE D-A
TELLS ME THAT BOND AMOUNT IS
UNUSUALLY HIGH FOR THAT CRIME.
A NEW COURT HEARING TO PRESENT
THE EVIDENCE IS SCHEDULED FOR
AUGUST 3RD AND 4TH. SHANNON
TONIGHT'S RALLY IS FOCUSED
AROUND FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF
GREG KELLEY CALLING FOR HIS
RELEASE ON BOND WHILE THEY
WAIT FOR THE HEARING IN AUGUST.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SHAWN DICK
SAYS THE HEARING DATE MAY EVEN
BE MOVED UP -- IT JUST DEPENDS
ON WHEN THE TEXAS RANGERS
FINISH THEIR INVESTIGATION.THE
RALLY BEGINS AT 8PM.ROBERT:
CEDAR PARK POLICE CHIEF SEAN
MANNIX IS STANDING BY HIS
DEPARTMENT'S INVESTIGATION.
AFTER KELLEY'S CONVICTION HE
WROTE A TWO-PAGE LETTER TO HIS
OFFICERS EXPRESSING SOME OF
HIS CONCERNS ABOUT THE "FIGHT
FOR GK" MOVEMENT. MANNIX
WROTE: THE KELLEY SUPPORTERS
HAVE EVOLVED FROM AN EARLIER
POSITION THAT THE KIDS MADE UP
THEIR STORIES, TO A MORE
MODIFIED EXPLANATION THAT ONE
OF THEM WAS LIKELY EXPOSED TO
SEXUAL ABUSE AT THE HANDS OF
ANOTHER. THIS IS VERY "TWISTED
LOGIC" TO BELIEVE THAT A CHILD
IS INTELLECTUALLY DEVELOPED
ENOUGH TO ARTICULATE THE MOST
HORRIFIC THING THEY HAVE BEEN
THE VICTIM OF, BUT NOT
"INTELLECTUALLY DEVELOPED"
ENOUGH TO RECOGNIZE THE KNOWN
PERPETRATOR THEY THEY ARE
EXPOSED TO DAILY. AS WE
MENTIONED EARLIER.. THE ENTIRE
LETTER IS TWO PAGES. WE'VE GOT
