Jury acquits man in indecency with child case
An Ector County jury found Julian Vallecillo not guilty of indecency with a child involving a 10-year-old girl from July 4, 2012. The defense urged doubt based on the lack of physical evidence and eyewitnesses, while the prosecution argued the girl's consistent testimony justified conviction. The case centered on a single alleged incident during fireworks night with investigators noting limited corroboration but the forensic interviewer affirming the girl's consistent details.
