Texas tragedy

Dear Editor:
I thought the enclosed article might be of interest. Our compassionate Christians are running wild. These boys lived with Jeff most of the time because they wanted to. Their homes were a hell for them. The aggravated assault was because he told them he would ground them if they told anyone about what he did. Jeff fed these kids, bought their clothes, and took care of them when the rest of the community didn't care at all.

"Jury Hands Leggett Maximum Sentence for Abuse," from the San Angelo, Texas, Standard Times: San Angelo businessman Jeffrey Leo Leggett was sentenced to 99 years in prison Friday after a four-day trial on child sexual abuse charges. [...] Leggett, 31, was accused of molesting four boys between the ages of 11 and 16. [...] The defendant will not become eligible for parole for at least 15 years, said special prosecutor Charlotte Harris. [...]

When will the witch-hunt end?
Texas
