Description

Hines, who was said to have the mind of a 6-year-old child, was convicted of rape in 1978 and sentenced to thirty years in prison. Two years later, a different jury found him mentally incompetent to stand trial, and he was transferred to Partlow State School and Hospital in Tuscaloosa, where he stayed for more than a decade.
