Beautiful citizens residing in our Hamlet by the sea.  Surely we agree judges in our judicial system have an awesome responsibility.  It is probably not kosher to chastise a powerful judge in the court's hierarchy.  However, in this case I feel it is totally justified.  Let there be light.

 

Upon reading last Thursday's May 24th Peninsula Clarion headlines ("Judge raps paper, police: moves murder trial") and the article in which Brother Judge Hanson states, "We cannot get a jury," adding that the kind of coverage the case recieved in local newspapers made it impossible.  "We can't try this case in this town."

I would say, good judge, let us have justice for all citizens, including those chosen to be jurors who appear before you and who are enlightened.  In my book, under the flag of justice the more you know, the better you can serve.

 

Personally, I do not approve of the most Honorable Judge Hanson dumping his negative psyche on our Hamlet by the sea.  Judgment on the exotic Homer News and our most excellent public safety department is outrageous.

 

I commend our police department and the Homer News for keeping us citizens well informed and aware of the events that take place in our Hamlet.  It would be an act of absolute injustice for the Homer News and the police department to do otherwise.

 

Knowledge, understanding and enlightenment are the highest levels of justice in the human mind and the flow of life.

 

It could be Brother Judge Hanson, with all of his world of experience in the justice system, has not as yet developed sufficient understanding and enlightenment to work with a free, uninhibited, well-informed and enlightened community.

 

Good Judge, if you want to move the trial, move it.  But, you do not have the right to pass judgment on our public safety department and the Homer News.

 

As individuals, the human race takes great pride in knowing that we are capable of making decisions which are not influenced by publicity.  Therefore, it is insulting to an individual's intelligence for the justice department to assume otherwise.

 

I humbly plead with our most excellent public safety department and the exotic Homer News to pay no attention to this unjust judgment and carry on with your excellent work in keeping us citizens informed and aware of events occurring in our Hamlet by the sea.

 

A great sage spoke thusly once upon a time: "In general every evil to which we do not succumb is a benefactor."  Justice freedom and love to all.
