"A well-known defense attorney has posted bond after being arrested Monday at the Osceola County Courthouse under charges that include solicitation to commit perjury. Harold "Hal" Uhrig was one of the attorneys who briefly helped defend George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case. Uhrig is also charged with tampering with or harassing a witness victim or informant which is a capital life felony. Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez said Uhrig was representing a man accused of raping a girl when she was 9 years old. Uhrig is accused of holding a meeting with the rape victim who is a teenager now, her father and the man accused of rape and instructing them:
- Write a letter to the state's attorney saying the rape did not happen
- Refuse to answer served subpoenas
- Lie under oath during deposition
"The victim came forward and reported that conduct to the state attorney who was investigating the case July of this year 2021," Lopez said. Osceola County deputies started investigating after the victim reported the claims in July. Officials say the victim's father was wearing a recording device when he met with Uhrig."
A capital life felony seems kind of harsh for asking a chick to lie about being raped when she was 9 yrs old....and to be fair, as an attorney, you have to be willing to do anything you can to help get your rapist of a client off; even if it means trying to get the child victim to lie about being raped...unfortunately, the "alleged rape victim" wasn't being an honest actor and negotiating in good faith...because her and her dad tricked the guy into the whole thing...with that type of dishonesty, makes you wonder if this chick was even raped or did she trick the defendant too
