– Marc Gafni’s friends, collaborators, and colleagues speak out for the sake of restoring integrity. This comment by Scott Forgey on “Trial by Media” Tactics was first posted to the Center for Integral Wisdom statement on centerforintegralwisdom.org. You can read the statement below or listen to the audio. –
I have had the honor to work with Marc during this last month and a half since the publication of the scathing accusations and allegations from the past. As a former trial lawyer I have dealt with many such occasions and the “trial by media” tactics that render integrity and justice nearly unattainable.
My direct experience of Marc is someone of deep compassion, concerned for people being free, known and honored – even in the midst of the upsetting past allegations resurfacing. The Community and the value of the Institute’s work has been his first and driving concern. I trust his integrity goodness and look forward to working with him in the future.
The Center for Integral Wisdom Community has been both compassionate and responsible in taking on resolving any issues that can be resolved, understanding that often people have their agendas and wish no resolution, nor due process that would have the truth come forth. The transparency and commitment has been a refreshing contrast to the string of attacks and vitriol.
