Simple solution

Craig now says he didn't do it. But per Josh Marshall (a source who I trust as far as I could throw, but who in this instance has no reason to distort), Craig previously confessed under oath. If so, surely Minnesota can easily resolve the issue by indicting him for perjury based on the inconsistency between his statement under oath and his statements now. And if so, Larry, it seems as if an involuntary retirement actually isn't the worst thing that can happen.

Marshall's stretching a bit

Marshall's stretching a bit. I've read the court filing, and what Craig did was plead guilty to an undetailed charge of disorderly conduct. That is NOT the same as confessing to all the alleged facts of the arrest "under oath."

One might as well prosecute all people in jail on coerced confessions for perjury. The trap for Craig was that it went immediately public if he fought it. So he tried to duck, and failed. (And that applies regardless of his guilt or innocence.)
