StumbleFLASHPOINT for Oct 14, 2007
Sunday, Oct. 14, 2007 | 1:30 a.m.
It was one year ago today that the first story was published that spelled the end of Jim Gibbons' political career. The piece seemed innocuous at first because it reported that the police had cleared Gibbons, the gubernatorial candidate and congressman, of any wrongdoing in an alleged assault against a woman near McCormick and Schmick's. It seemed highly unlikely that Gibbons, not known as a man about town, could be guilty. But then the story simply took off. All kinds of conflicting evidence surfaced, strange accounts of what happened that night from Gibbons and the woman, Chrissy Mazzeo, as well as conflicting eyewitness testimony. It became a media obsession and the rest is history. Dina Titus is governor, right?
