To ALL:

PROMINENT SUSPECTS?

Why not give THEM a break? The truth is we don't KNOW anything. We only THINK we do. Fortunately, that's not good enough for the Law.

Far better that a thousand guilty men go free than that one innocent person be sent to jail -- or worse -- EXECUTED.

I'd love to see a Public Trust Fund set up to compensate the Victims of Wrongful Prosecution. And don't think there isn't PLENTY of that.

Many a corrupt, venal DA has built a successful political career by making a patsy of some vulnerable target.

VENGEANCE belongs to God. WE ought to be more in the business of binding up wounds and healing the broken lives of those often fatally damaged by the fallout from a crime. The innocent husbands, wives and CHILDREN of perpetrators ought not to be left to suffer cruelly for the crime of someone on whom they were dependent.

Our priorities are all wrong.

Right, it all depends on what the meaning of is, is.
