Puckett acquitted of all charges in sex-assault case
Hall of Famer and former Minnesota Twin Kirby Puckett used to be a hero in Minnesota, about as close to a walking god as you can find in the Twin Cities. Now, he has proven himself to be an all-too-flawed human being.
Yes, he was aquitted of sexual assault yesterday, and he is once again a free man. Perhaps now he would be well-served by devoting some of his considerable energy to rebuilding his reputation and his standing in the community. An acquittal may clear Puckett of legal consequences, but it will do nothing to restore his reputation.
