Sorry, Vicki, but if you'd bother to read the thread you'll see that it is
the FACT of the arrest that Cadenas and Wiseman are so interested in, not
the RECORD of it.

That's a fabrication of yours.
Read this: "I believe it is inappropriate for employers to use any arrest
for an allegation of a sexual offense to make personnel decisions before a
trial has been completed?"
Note the lack of the word "record" anywhere.

Nope. See above.

Again, you misunderstand. The "messy things" are not to test whether
there's probable cause (that's the job of the prelim), but whether case is
proven.
And, of course, as others have observed, there are plenty of cases where
guilt actually exists, but convictions don't result (OJ Simpson leaps to
mind...)
