Partial Review of Video Shows No Proof of Alleged Attack by Rep. Gibbons
Oops.
LAS VEGAS — A partial review Thursday of surveillance video from a parking garage where a woman said the Republican candidate for governor assaulted her did not reveal the presence of either person, nor of an attack.
| Doesn't matter, does it? She said it. The election's next Tuesday. Therefore it must be true, at least until next Wednesday, at which time it can quietly evaporate. | A judge had ordered police to release 16 hours of surveillance video to lawyers for Rep. Jim Gibbons and Chrissy Mazzeo, who accused the candidate of pushing her against a wall inside the garage Oct. 13 and propositioning her after the two had drinks together at a nearby restaurant.
Gibbons, 61, a married, five-term congressman from Reno, has denied any impropriety and says he helped Mazzeo when she tripped while walking toward the garage. Mazzeo's accusation, now under investigation by police, has launched a media frenzy and consumed Gibbons' gubernatorial bid in the final stretch of the tight race against state Sen. Dina Titus.
