“Caution others to give the Senator the benefit of the doubt, as the LaCross players were NOT given by many - at first.”
The Lacross players did not plead guilty to ANYTHING and hired a lawyer.
Craig is guilty of stupidity. And undeserving of a senate seat.
Yes the LaCross players never said they were guilty of rape of that bogus accuser.
However, despite their denials, they were immediately judged to be guilty of rape by most of America.
Of course we now know that they did nothing of the sort.
That too was a politically motivated prosecution. The politician was the DA Nifong who was running for office....and who took the “situation” as one which gave him an advantage with the predominantly African American Durham population. And he won.
Despite the facts, despite the truth, Nifong won his political office. It took a year to clear these young men and even now they are tainted in the minds of many as POSSIBLY being guilty of “something” that went on that night.
They were guilty of being stupid to have that dancer in the first place.
The Senator is guilty of taking the “bait” of what the airport police officer over and over suggested - cooperating by pleading guilty to something.....
Good for the Senator in fighting to clear his good name and not give up his Senate seat for having the gall to go to the bathroom after his airline flight.
