Tigger Gets Off (In a Good Way)

A bit of follow-up from the other day. The amusement park worker who was accused of groping a young girl during a photo op was acquitted yesterday by a jury in less than an hour. One juror said there was "no evidence to convict," noting that "[t]hey couldn't even prove who was behind the Tigger mask." Tigger's lawyer, himself a moonlight Tigger at Disney World, donned parts of the costume during his closing argument, including the head and gloves. I guess this is a twist on the "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit" strategy.
