Over the years I have been asked many times, “Why does the law let criminals go over technicalities? Is that fair to society? They do such bad things, and on some technicality the law lets them go.”
We still need Rotarians to help get speakers for March and April. If you are interested in finding speakers for those months, please contact Minnie Stephens at minniemouse1041@windstream.net. Thank you for your help.
