He is believed to have obtained the suit during a stint working for the Boeing division that was tasked with caring for the NASA flight suits.

Random Guy?, uhm,, would that be Random Tasks brother?

Somehow I believe Dr. Evil's behind this. Better call Austin Powers.

Calvin. Calvin stole the woman's clothes. He had a thing about Sally. It was important as a part of the movie that the wife ran into the closet and smelled his clothes. (American Beauty).

So then Calvin stole Ms. Rides clothes and did evil sniffing of them over the years.

He will not get off because he is not insane and his desire for Sally Ride is justifiable as she was heroic. Hence Calvin is destined for jail.

Oh, I see, it makes a lot of sense; if Mr. Smith's lawer is following this, I think he could argue sniffing disorders on the deffendant, and try to turn the sentence into an "evil sniffing fellony" with only 6 months of comunity service or something similar.
