Viewers will remember the sensational story back in 2012 in which Julio Cesar Garcia, who was acting the spiritual leader of the Franks Eddy Baptist Church, was accused of having unlawful sexual intercourse with a 11 year-old girl inside the church building. Well, he was convicted and sentenced to 12 years in jail. He appealed his conviction today in the Court of Appeal, and at the end of that hearing, the Judges dismissed his appeal and upheld his conviction.
The 11 year-old testified in the Supreme Court trial that on October 28, 2012, and November 1, 2012 Garcia had intercourse with her.
He was convinced that he was wrongly accused and convicted, and he hired attorney Oswald Twist to make his case before the Court of Appeal. Twist presented 4 grounds of appeal, including misdirection by the judge. In the end, the judges weren't convinced and upheld the conviction and sentence.
