Kindergarten Teacher accused of 22 counts of Child Molestation acquitted

In 2008 Tonya Craft, a Georgia kindergarten teacher, was arrested on twenty two counts of child molestation after three young girls, one of them her own daughter, were questioned about her. She lost her job, her home, and daily contact with her children before a five week trial in 2010 ended with a jury acquitting her on every count, a verdict that rested on contested interviews, suggestible young witnesses, and a tangle of custody disputes and strained friendships rather than any physical evidence. The account separates what the record establishes from what the defense and the accusers each alleged, follows her path afterward through a civil suit, a memoir, and a law career, and argues that the case teaches careful interviewing of children, humility about what a verdict can prove, and the fairness owed to both the vulnerable and the accused.
