It seems that the McMartin case is what you get when you mix crazy CT'ers that believe in such nonsense with junk science. The fact that they couldn't ever come up with any real evidence for the abuse apparently didn't adequately disturb the prosecutors. The case lasted from 1983 to 1990. That shouldn't be surprising since the JFK CT'ers have been at it for 50 years and they have exactly zilch to show for it.
