In a statement issued today, Craig sys he was not involved in any

my actions."
Sorry Harry. Turns out when you learn what really happened, Craig is
right.
1. Peering into the crack between the door and jamb of the stall.
(Maybe some stall doors swing shut in that bathroom, and have no locks
or inoperative locks. You have to either look in the crack or barge
in to see if it's occupied. Or bend down and look under the door for
feet. Been in similar situations myself.)
2. Foot touching the foot of the person in the adjacent stall.
(Craig said he has a wide stance when squatting. Sounds perfectly
reasonable. Remember Johnny Bench?)
3. Reaching under the divider and into the adjacent stall.
(Craig said he dropped a piece of paper. Can happen to anybody.)
So there you are. The man is innocent and probably the victim of a
smear campaign, or an overly aggressive cop wanting to pad his stats.
BTW, did you know that in 1421 the Chinese circumnavigated the world
in huge ships, mapped the Americas and established the Apache tribe in
Arizona? Happened right after the Vikings went home.
Anyway, I hope you show proper contrition about what you said
concerning Craig.
