Well, a little at least. Here is what I posted when Charlie Grapski's case was thrown out of court because it was ridiculous.

Here is the Gainesville Sun editorial about Charlie's case....

It took Judge Buck Curtin almost no time at all on Thursday to dismiss the felony wiretapping charge against Charlie Grapski and short-circuit a trial that would have been a mockery of justice.
It's clear that Watson was infuriated and personally offended by Grapski's allegation that improprieties had occurred in the election. What's not clear is why State Attorney Bill Cervone even bothered to bring this turkey to trial. It should embarrass Cervone that a judge so quickly threw the case out of court. It is difficult to argue with a straight face that Grapski was guilty of covert taping when his recording device was in plain sight during his meeting with Watson, a public official.
A suit has been filed alleging election improprieties. Perhaps that litigation will ultimately vindicate the city or show that Grapski had good reason to worry about the integrity of the election. Either way, here's some advice for Alachua city officials: Stop running the election out of city hall.
Alachua is growing up and its citizens shouldn't have to wonder whether their elections are being conducted in a professional manner. Alachua ought to do what Gainesville did a long time ago; contract with the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections to run its municipal elections."
Very few took interest in this case, but it is still an ongoing investigation into election problems.
Now I am no fan of Jake Fuller's cartoons, but I must give him kudos for this cartoon.
Clovis Watson is not happy with Charlie.
I wrote a more complete post about Charlie much earlier.
