[OLA-IF-News] Comic Book Legal Defense Fund Director resigns

[Tony Greiner]

It's important to remember that while he was accused, the charges were
dropped for lack of supporting evidence. The old accusation was brought
back to light recently.  Brownstein might have resigned 'for the good of
the organization', he might have resigned because he was guilty, he might
have resigned because he didn't want to be mobbed.  We don't know.
Preserving the concept of "Assumption of Innocence" is important.
