Reply #13: Your theory has one little obstacle--Craig's pants. [View All]

If he had to poop, don't you think he would have pulled them DOWN?

But seriously, folks, The Judeo-Christian tradition says “by the mouth of two or three witnesses every fact is confirmed?” Well, getting around THAT is a simple as making sure there AREN'T any witnesses when you commit a crime--which is probably why the Constitution's authors preferred the "rule of law" tradition.

Had there been a trial, the question would have been whether to believe the cop or Craig. Since he sought out the bathroom and knew all the signals, Craig's problem is that there's NO REASON to believe him. And if the judge allowed any of Craig's previous accusations to come into evidence, that would put the final nails in his coffin. Craig understands all that, of course. THAT'S why he took the plea deal--and more important, that's why he risked making himself vulnerable to blackmail by not telling anyone what had happened.
