Re: August 17th Arrest in Gallant Case

Dear readers:

While those who cared about justice for Paula are passionate people who, today of all days, are bound to be expressing relief and satisfaction at the news of an arrest, I ask that you have patience with me publishing comments; I would love nothing more than to sit by the computer all day and watch things unfold, but I'll be out after lunch and probably won't be able to publish for at least a few hours.

I also want to point out that, though news of an arrest is encouraging and long-awaited news indeed, there hasn't yet been a conviction, and we have to be mindful of that. I have no interest in protecting those who don't deserve any sort of regard, but I won't publish any comments for which I might be liable from a legal standpoint.

The news is bittersweet in many ways, but let's pray this is the beginning of some resolution.

It's sad that you mention names and make false accusations. You don't know that you have already judged without any fact. Jay has always been a quiet person who has kept to himself, what he is going through is terrible. If he did do it, let that be up to the justice system, until then, we fortunately live in Canada, which means he's innocent until proven guilty...or not according to the general public. It is so sad that people judge a person without just cause. I think you should leave his friends and family alone. I think if you were in the same situation as Jay, then you wouldn't want people mentioning your family's names or your friend's names. Your comments sicken me and make me angry that you have already decided. If I went by my gut, I would have decided that he is innocent. At least in our judicial system, he is innocent until proven guilty.
