We mentioned earlier about how there seemingly wasn't anyone out there - besides Drayton - willing to say how Jim Crane wasn't a bad guy.
That's not true, anymore! Greg Dykeman, an attorney with Strong Pipkin in Beaumont wrote a completely unbiased, unsolicited letter to Jim Crane (and to the Chronicle) in an effort to uphold his name.
About those pesky allegations:
“At no time during this lawsuit and investigation was there ever any belief or evidence that you personally had any involvement with or were even aware of the scheme by the responsible employees. All indications were that this was an isolated incident and you had no knowledge of their actions.”
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
