Suspect beating story concocted by liberal lawyer Re "Lawyer: F'ville police beat suspect" [The Citizen, April 24]: This is another case of money-hungry lawyers who defend the criminals against prosecution for their crimes. Our legal system has gotten to the point that in many cases a person who is being prosecuted for crimes is allowed to go free or have charges dropped based on technicalities. What has happened to our legal system today? Our legal system has had its arms tied behind its back by liberal lawyers and politicians who feel a criminal has more rights than the victims. There have been many instances where the criminal is caught red-handed yet is released because of illegal searches, or abuse by police officers or other procedures that were not followed. I do not have any sympathy for these two losers! I also doubt that they were "beaten" at all. If they received bruises, cuts or abrasions from being dragged out of their vehicle after they were caught, well, that goes with the territory! After all, these two losers had just robbed a store, ran their car all over Fayetteville running from police officers, crashed into a respected vet doctor and killed him and probably put up a physical fight to boot. What were these officers to do: Ask them to please get out of their car and put the handcuffs on and get in the back of one of the available police cruisers? I doubt seriously if they would have complied. The bottom line here is a man would be alive today and our fair town would still be just as quiet as it usually is had these two bums stayed in Fulton County or wherever they were from. The events that unfolded that night were the direct result of two losers who would rather rob a business than get a job and be a productive part of our society. Good job, Fayetteville Police Department! I commend your job and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the safety you provide me and my family as well as our neighbors here in our community. Let's keep sending notice to the trash visiting our fair community that crime does pay, but not in the way you would like. John Nance Fayetteville
