Among many other 'assumptions', some of which of you described as potentially criminal (Quote "The woman is waving the flag to excuse behavior that - if not criminal - is at least reprehensible), this:
Quote: "And seriously, best case scenario that a sixty-four year old married supervisor plied someone a quarter of a century younger than him with booze and she wound up in bed with him is NOT going to sit well with the jury."
Hmmm, your attached Seattle Times article lists FO Pina as a 40 year old and Capt Engelian as 51, I'm no math whiz, but that's hardly a quarter century.
Pesky facts and inconvenient truths have a nasty tendency to ruin a great story! I'll withhold judgment till the dust settles. In the interest of preserving your credibility, I'd recommend you do the same.

What I have now posted was THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY and it was posted without editorial comment. It makes it a whole lot easier to assess a situation when BOTH sides tell their story.

Sad (and boring) but true, but who needs it? Not worth the risk in today's #Guilty till proven innocent environment. Keep it PC; strictly business.
