I can't say "good," exactly, but I certainly understand that this verdict had to be.
I was sitting alone in my office the evening I first read these accusations against him and I gasped out loud. I read frantically, with tears welling up in my eyes. I didn't even know him particularly well, but he was still on my mind the next morning.
