Counting On News – Appeal Filed Unopposed

Fans who watched the trial play out know that the presence of another person seemed to be at the bottom of the defense team’s arguments for Josh to go free. They seemed to take the line that certain aspects of the trial were not actually clarified. In other words, while a lot of evidence was presented, they found an avenue to pursue. That involves the fact that they believe the prosecution couldn’t prove someone else did not do the crime. Beyond all reasonable doubt, as far as they are concerned, was never proven.

Counting On alum Anna Duggar also strongly believes that her husband is innocent. However, the prosecution reacted with a damning statement to the appeal. While Josh’s team tried to blame Caleb Williams, the state claimed that he wasn’t even in the area when the crimes happened. Well, he seemed like the ideal person to blame as he previously racked up some charges for intimacy with an under-aged girl. Now, the defense team requested more time to look into their case. The latest appeal was filed completely unopposed.

That included the probation officer who felt good with it as long as the court approved it. Apparently, they want more time to look into the statement that the prosecution team made in reply to the appeal for a retrial.

At the time, Counting On fans who followed the news after the trial, heard that the prosecution felt they proved Josh’s guilt beyond any question. The state maintained that as far as suggesting that he didn’t commit the crimes, even if he never personally downloaded the material, if he was aware of it, then he committed the crime anyway. While the lengthy appeals and reactions seem very technical and long, basically, the state believes Josh did it and has no leg to stand on by blaming someone else.
