Helicopter peeping? Maybe the problem lies elsewhere

As much as I sympathize with Ashley Watson's loss of her beautiful mother Beverley, and the fact that her father is the one convicted of her mother's murder and is sitting in prison, for the life of me I can make no sense of her complaint other than pure animosity toward the Fayette County Sheriff's Department for their role in the investigation of her mother's murder.

I sincerely hope she is receiving some kind of counseling. I have been in her back yard, and with all the trees, the department's chopper would have to have landed in the back yard to see in her bedroom window.

The department's helicopter has flown all over Fayette County, including over and above my own subdivision. I'd be very curious to know how many others have filed complaints on this issue.
