THOMAS ALFRED TAYLOR

AFFIDAVIT
Comes H illary Rodham of F a y e tte v ille , Arkansas, and being duly sworn s ta te s
upon oath the following:
1.

I am the attorney for Thomas Alfred Taylor and am fu lly fam iliar with

the fa c ts and circumstances of th is case.

2.
W H S
3.

The defendant Is charged with the crime of f i r s t degree rape of i

age 12, of 724 E. Johnson, Springdale, Arkansas.
I have made an Investigation of the fa c ts and circumstances In th is ease

and v e rily believe th a t a psy ch iatric examination of the complainant, |

is necessary and v ita l In th is case.
4.

I have been Informed th a t the complainant la emotionally unstable with a

tendency to seek out older me.. and to engage ... fan tasizin g .

I have also been

informed th a t she has In the past made false accusations about persona, claiming
they had attacked her body.

Also th at she exhibits an unusual stubbornness and

temper when she does not get her vay.

5.

I have also been told by an expert In child psychology th a t children In

early adolescence tend to exaggerate or romanticize sexual experiences and th a t

adolescents with disorganized fam ilies, such as the complainantJA, are even more
prone to such behavior.
6.

For th ese reasons and o th e rs th a t may be p resented to th e Court a t th e

h earing on th is motion, I b e lie v e a p sy c h ia tric examination would be la th e b e st

in t e r e s t s of ju s ti c e .

WHEREFORE, I resp ectfu lly request th a t the r e lie f sought In the motion be
In. a l l respects granted.

Coses now Che P e titio n e rs, the S tate of Arkansas, through the
Prosecuting Attorney, Mahlon Gibson and Thomas Taylor, through h is attorney,
H illary Rodham, and fo r the purpose of th is motion, show the Court:
1.

That th is notion is the r e s u lt of a mutual decision by the Prosecuting

Attorney and the defendant because they believe the in te re s ts of Ju stic e

w ill be served by a postponement of th is m atter beyond September 16, 1975,
the date se t fo r t r i a l .
2.

That the Prosecuting Attorney had to be out of the county from

September 6 through September 11, 1975 and did not have time to discuss
the case fu rth e r with the defendant's attorney and to prepare adequately
for the t r i a l of th is m atter.
3.

That the defendant because of the Prosecuting A ttorney's absence

was not able to resolve c e rta in questions th a t a ffe c t the conduct of h is

defense.
WHEREFORE, the defendant and the Prosecuting Attorney resp ectfu lly
pray th a t the heretofore scheduled t r i a l be postponed.
