A first year law student at the bottom of his class could have gotten
the case against Craig thrown out in 30 seconds or less. First of
all, there was absolutely no proof of any contact to begin with and
not one ounce of proof of any implied or actual solicitation. It was
basically the cops vague interpretation of movements on the other side
of a partition that may have been accidental or baited by him. After
all, how the hell could you brush against someone's foot unless thay
had it so close to the wall or pushed under the wall so that
accidental contact could be made? Then again, I have seen some of
those stalls that barely provided enough room to turn around in.
There is just something about this whole deal that smells and its not
a sweet smell either.
