The good people of Elizabethton should not speculate or pass judgement unless they know the details of a case. A woman recently received harassing/threatening phone calls because of something she was charged with. She was found innocent but she suffered tremendously due to ‘good’ citizens who jumped to their own conclusions and made a rash judgement. Good child? Bad child? Good parents? Bad parents? We don’t know and therefore shouldn’t become judge and jury.
