Chances are he’s probably guilty but what if the hand under the stall was accompanied by, “for the love of God, please pass me some TP, I’m about to miss my flight?” For that matter, the officer was in the stall for about 13 mins before the Senator sat down next door. Now ... what did the stalled officer know about the availability of other seats? I know sometimes all the doors seem closed and when you gotta go, you gotta go. Sometimes seeing a shirt through the door crack helps to rule out doors to try before assuming the throne. That was what I was thinking when I read the account up until the footsie stuff was described. But there is a slim chance for this to be a horrible misunderstanding. Then again, if that were the case, NFW would I plead guilty.
Reminds me of an old joke:
A priest sees a drunk stumble into the confessional. The priest goes into his side and waits. About ten minutes pass but the Priest waits to allow the drunk time to collect his thoughts. Finally the Priest clears his throat and knocks on the wall of the confessional booth.
The drunk responds: I can't help you buddy, there is no toilet paper in this stall either.
