The Bobby Fijnje Case

In another case, Janet Reno supervised the multi month trial of Bobby Fijnje, the fourteen year son of Dutch civil servants. Bobby had watched over children in a church run nursery school. The case parallels the Michaels and others with the lack of physical evidence or adult witnesses and the coercive interviews of the children by therapists. After spending over two years in a detention home and being tried as an adult, Bobby was acquitted. The state spent a few million dollars on this one.
