I really hope that's what shakes out.
but 'doesn't look good'- are you really going to tell me with Hill's history that this looks like 'nothing to see here'?
something bad happened here and just because everybody is being tight-lipped so there are no charges doesn't mean nothing happened. It just means they can't charge anyone because they don't know WHO to charge.
Part of getting a second chance is that you ARE under extra scrutiny.
So, yeah, I feel pretty comfortable with saying, at the very least, this looks suspicious. i.e. 'doesn't look good'.
I really don't think if you're going to be logical about it you could say otherwise.

I guess things depend on what your philopsohical view of a 'second chance' is.
I'm all for a 'short leash' second chance where the premsises are;
you messed up
you credibly express remorse
you realize that the next established incident is a 'no quarter' situation.
Seems though, that some are altering the conception somewhat midstream, where, instead of the next credible incident, to where the next whiff of smoke and you have no benefit of doubt whether there is smoke AND fire or whether you caused the smoke and fire, because this wasn't so much a second chance as a temporary suspension of our wrath over the first chance.
