I see it now. ... There is more info coming to light and posted on another forum. The Mason's Lodge refused to charge and try him and now has filed an appeal to the GL on his behalf. They further state the 'trial' was close door and interest Master Masons were refused admittance or to give testimony on the accused behalf.
From what I read (my opinion) the GM's letter above is a lie when it stated there was a Grand Lodge Trial. ... It in fact was a committee trial/hearing and without proper notice to the accused so he could present a defense. Further, it was indicated the testimony of the offended witness (a woman) was proven to be a lie.
So this is why the Master Masons of the Shrine & the Members' home Lodge is supporting him.
