The Washington Free Beacon (via The Daily Caller) discovered some tapes of a conversation the former secretary of state had in the mid-80s where she indicated she was aware that a defendant of hers she represented in 1975 was guilty of a horrible crime:

Newly discovered audio recordings of Hillary Clinton from the early 1980s include the former first lady’s frank and detailed assessment of the most significant criminal case of her legal career: defending a man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl.

In 1975, the same year she married Bill, Hillary Clinton agreed to serve as the court-appointed attorney for Thomas Alfred Taylor, a 41-year-old accused of raping the child after luring her into a car.

The recordings, which date from 1983-1987 and have never before been reported, include Clinton’s suggestion that she knew Taylor was guilty at the time. She says she used a legal technicality to plead her client, who faced 30 years to life in prison, down to a lesser charge. The recording and transcript, along with court documents pertaining to the case, are embedded below.

Here's a tape:

The Free Beacon also noted that while the victim declined an interview:

...she nevertheless expressed deep and abiding hostility toward the Newsday reporter who spoke to her in 2008—and toward her assailant’s defender, Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The Newsday journalist she'd spoken with lied that she had no ill feelings towards Clinton, but as is now clear, she does have. This is a very alarming case, and if Clinton is ever elected to the same office her husband was, it'll be a major embarrassment.
