Attorney Accused of Witness Tampering in Child Sexual Assault Case

KISSIMMEE -- A high-profile Central Florida defense attorney is accused of witness tampering in a case involving the rape of a child.

Osceola County Sheriff Marco Lopez accused Hal Uhrig of asking a nine-year-old girl to give a deposition and write a letter claiming his client never sexually assaulted her.

The girl, now 19 years old, filed a complaint with the sheriff's office last July. Uhrig was arrested and taken to jail Monday afternoon.

Lopez says he thinks Uhrig has done this sort of thing before, saying "I think this wasn't his first rodeo."

Uhrig was part of the defense team in George Zimmerman's trial for the death of Trayvon Martin.
