Judge Drops Rape Charge Against David Prevatte. Paitin Fields Case Goes to Jury | Profiling Evil

Nine years after five-year-old Paitin Fields was found dead in 2017, her uncle David Prevatte is standing trial in North Carolina, charged with her murder. In this episode, we’ll walk through the pivotal moment when both sides rested their cases: the judge's ruling that dismissed the statutory rape charge but kept first-degree murder and statutory sexual offense alive, Prevatte's decision not to take the witness stand, and what comes next as closing arguments begin. I want to break down the North Carolina law as I see it and explain why the DNA evidence fell short on one specific legal element. Then I’ll lay out what the jury will be asked to decide when deliberations start. Then you will hear the judge in his own words as the state and defense rest and this case turns toward its verdict.
