This looks to be shaping up as another “he said, she said” case, where it is very difficult, if not impossible, to prove if anyone in fact did anything. From what I have seen happen in these cases, the accused (in this case, Lowe) has the burden of proving that he DIDN’T do what he’s accused of doing. There’s also the problem of the rush to judgment, as we saw in the Duke Lacrosse case, and the tendency of quite a few to presume guilt instead of innocence until PROVEN guilty. After the Duke case, I hope that people won’t be so quick to judge Lowe until ALL the facts are known. Right now, I haven’t seen much, other than accusations flying back and forth.

Of course, Gibson could cite Mary Poppins’ view and argue “that’s a pie crust promise; easily made, easily broken!”

True, but maybe not so easily digested.
