Absolutely. But I've seen hit jobs on people I know something about, which were nothing but half-truths and distortions from political enemies all dressed up as objective reporting. So I was requesting some insight from somebody who might know "the rest of the story" if there is one.
For instance, what are the particulars about the harassment claim she pleaded guilty to? Does it really fit the implied template of a disturbed serial stalker? Or does it more closely resemble the alleged victim harassing her legally after he got his feelings hurt in a political exchange where he was made to look the fool?
This really is the mother of all cover-ups. Take a look at Marsden’s response, on her website:

Count me in your camp. Based on what is out there, I’d want more info before I’d go out on a limb on this one.
