@harukamori.jp: Melissa Gilbert is sharing a message after a judge dismissed the grand jury indictment against her husband, actor Timothy Busfield, who has denied the allegations against him. On October 16, a New Mexico judge granted Busfield’s request to dismiss the indictment involving allegations of criminal sexual contact with two minor boys. The allegations stemmed from his work as a director on the television series The Cleaning Lady. Following the ruling, Gilbert posted a quote from Shakespeare on Instagram: “So shines a good deed in a weary world.” She also shared a New York Times article about the decision. The judge’s ruling focused on problems with the grand jury process. According to the decision, prosecutors failed to properly explain the rules for calling witnesses and did not fully inform jurors about ways they could hear additional testimony. The dismissal does not itself establish whether the underlying allegations are true or false. Gilbert has stood by her husband throughout the case. In an earlier interview with Good Morning America, she described the ordeal as one of the most traumatic experiences of their lives and said she had never doubted his innocence. She also told the court that Busfield was her partner in life and business, asking that he be kept safe during the legal proceedings. Now, after the indictment was dismissed, Gilbert’s brief social media message has drawn renewed attention to a case that has deeply affected the couple. \#MelissaGilbert #TimothyBusfield #CelebrityNews #EntertainmentNews #legalnews
