Hi Jackie,
I read an interesting story in this morning's paper that made an
excellent poin about this case. Simply put, many people just do not know
the law with respect to sexual harassment and what is required to prove
it. In spite of the red herrings that disappointed people throw out, it
has nothing to do with an action that may or may not be considered an
outrage. Clearly, even if Judge Wright thought the actions, if conducted
as alleged, were an outrage, the case STILL would not have met the
minimum for sexual harassment.
People should not be coming down on Judge Wright for following the law.
If they are not happy, they should work to get the law changed.
Bill
