Court Drops Charges Against Barnett in Indecent Liberty Case
Warren D. Barnett, 29, of 119 S. Cedar, was charged with three counts of taking indecent liberties after alleged incidents involving two 21 year old girls and a 14 year old girl. At a preliminary hearing the judge ruled the girls incompetent to testify, discharging Barnett for lack of evidence. Franklin County attorney Jim Clark cited two competency requirements for witnesses: communication ability and understanding of oath. The judge ruled the girls did not meet these qualifications.
