No-longer-cooperating witness Ron Wilburn tells the Boston Globe’s Adrian Walker: “Dianne is a thief. Chuck isn’t. Dianne knew better. Chuck is a victim of circumstance.” Which is kind of the way this has looked from the beginning.

Some of the comments to the Globe piece ring true. But we’re not alone. Compare the coverage here in Boston to a similar situation in Chicago (as loudmouth Rokyo-wannabe John Kass does today: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/chi-kassfri20feb20,0,7144779.column).

As was pointed out to me by a friend who has worked as a developer in Boston for forty years, “Everyone knows you don’t go to Chuck to get something like that done because he doesn’t have the power to do it. What’s the point of bribing him? It would be a waste of money.”

To at least some members of a certain generation, Wilburn’s characterization of Turner instantly brings to mind the original victim of soicumstance. Maybe not Wilburn’s intent. Chuck’s a fool, not a thief! Some defense.

The real point, I think, is whether or not Mr. Turner violated the law, not whether or not he was capable of achieving anything.He is entitled to the presumption of innocence.But let’s not see the real issue clouded by another agenda.
