While it doesn't even remotely imply that there was no wrong-doing, it does seem to give a fairer spin than anything I've read to date. What I found interesting is that this was bylined by an Orlando Sentinal reporter.

It obviously gives some of the arguments that will be made in court (Montana hunting laws change frequently thus making it hard to know what is legal; the leaking of the news done to inflame jurists; etc.). One thing I really liked about this article is that the emphasis was on Rainey, who, to my mind, committed the far more serious offenses. I still don't get why his possible punishments are so much less than Morse's.

It is a good article redwitch, but it was posted in another thread about this subject.
