Let justice be served in court, not the newspaper

Thank you for your recent coverage of the driving under the influence incident on Bottle Bay Road. The actions of Deputy Aaron Flynn and Vicky Groepper were heroic and deserve repeated commendation. Our hats are off to you. You restore our faith in the innate goodness of humankind.

Thanks to the heroic actions of two fine people, and with the blessings of the gods and goddesses, the young lady has been given a second chance. She is a lovely, gentle and kind-hearted soul, not the sort this world is particularly easy on. She's still here on this planet for a reason. Let's cut her a break and respect her privacy. Justice will be served in court, not the press.
