Second witness takes stand in Lilly foster home sex case
In Mercer County Circuit Court Delbert Dale Lilly, former president of the State Foster Parents Association, faces 21 counts of second degree sexual assault alleged by a former foster child aged 16 to 18 during 1986 to 1988. Prosecution witnesses painted the Lilly home as unsafe while defense witnesses praised Lilly as truthful, with testimonies about Lilly’s threats and repeated assaults occurring when Rosalie Lilly left for meetings. The state rested after arguments about acquittal motions, and close relatives and a neighbor described Lilly as moral and truthful despite the surrounding testimony.
