Mezynieksi’s defense attorney Eddie Burke Jr. countered the prosecution claims: “These are bizarre and completely unfounded allegations intended to support false claims for money damages and smear my client’s good name . We will defend this lawsuit vigorously and not be subjected to a financial shakedown.”
In response to the skepticism proffered by the defense, Patch.com quotes the girl’s attorney, Rosemarie Arnold, as saying: ‘This man is a sick human being,’ Arnold said. Expressing her disgust, the plaintiff’s attorney said: “It’s a sorry state when a human being is trusted with caring for his niece because her brother has cancer and instead of caring for her, he abuses her. What’s worse is this man has his own kids. He’s a child predator. He should be locked up behind bars”.
