Court drops murder charges against Anne Maxine Patton

Sordid things? What sordid things? Based upon what has been posted, published, and televised regarding what you call a ‘”tabloid” story’- the term carrying an overt implication of any lack of effort at fact checking – you have chosen to comment on nebulous “sordid things” as fact, when your use of “tabloid” casts serious doubt on the accuracy and veracity of the information gleaned from the sources on which you base your opinion. Sadly, in this comment you posted, you’re perpetuating that which has been underscored in every way in this story’s coverage and in so doing further denying any person’s freedom from being judged in perpetuity for rumors-made-fact. What else, then, is she guilty of, were you judge of all these “things” of which you’ve already implied you’d convict her? Not sordid, sir – sad. Very sad. What to many is sordid is the quickness to judge without any effort to consider the basic rights we all should feel safe as considering inviolate. The lack of care – why say these things without any effort to prove your point? – with which the term “sordid” is used, with no examples to support your “verdict” with regard the story you “admit” to following (are you ashamed of doing so? I’m not – this “story” is a continuing travesty that should frighten all of us…) equates to no possibility for anyone accused of a crime to expect fairness in your “court”. As Horsegal Raye says, all conjecture, supposition, and opinions…. Innocent until proven guilty – basic right, we can agree? – goes out the window. Very sad and very scary.
