I'm reading the report now too. I see stuff in it that confuses me and does cause me to wonder about this case from the get go.
....
The defendant is a walking joke imo. Talk about a nightmare for a defense attorney. This guy lies, exagerates and would probably make a fortune in creative writing. But I don't see anything that would warrent 40 years, if this crime was even commited, and I do still have doubts about that.

Glad to know you've been reading linked rpt. I wonder which other pleadings, motions, doc's are avail online. Trial transcript?
I'm reading & interping report differently and seeing more substantiation for conviction, than you do.
Puzzling -
--the failure of either dad or mom to timely-mention their purported *advertiser censored* stash, as genesis for the dau being aware of sex acts to describe to LE. And what about {
Graphic alert} her description of taste and smell?
--the father's explanations to LE for non-existent evd?
Not puzzling
-- family, esp. mom, pressure, on dau to recant.
--dad's pressure on dau to write gov to ask for clemency.
--conflicted emotion dau would have toward dad, re his protective role vs sex abuse acts.
But I see your criticism re 40 yr sentence. I wonder what the
sentencing guidelines, min's or max's were for the offenses.
Looks like dad set the example of lies-as-SOP in the household.
For kids growing up w. drug addicted parents, sad, sad, sad, with or without sex abuse.
JM2cts and I may be wrong.
