This is one of the things that very much concerns me about the whole
proceedings. Jason had no reason to ask for an investigation of Dale's
state of mind because as far as he was told, that wasn't something that he
was accused of. If one cannot pin down clearly and concisely what was done
wrong, then we are left with two major problems. First, no appeal can be
reasonably be made on the basis of logic. And second, it leaves people
with a precedent of wrongdoing that they cannot understand and so cannot
learn from. Without clarity, how is someone expected to learn from
mistakes?
