Was Nancy Johnson (Letters, 4 Sept.) trying to tell us that
she was a public defender in felony criminal court in the state of Iowa, yet has
the abysmal lack of discretion to publicly imply that she has confidential,
insider knowledge she’d like to share with us? What was she, a janitor with a
good set of lock-picks that fit the filing system? Her implications are
conjecture at best, based on what?
I would like to know where you have obtained this
information you think you have, Ms. Johnson. Are you presenting evidence? Who
are your witnesses? You seem to think that you are the ongoing judge and jury
of a person you do no even know. Why no slander her husband for good measure?
Who is going to question the authority of a recently retired court employee? I
am.
I am outraged at your supposition, no only because Heidi
Anfinson is my sister and her husband is my brother-in-law, it incenses me that
my taxes would pay for such poor judgment and such unprofessional character in
a court employee, retired or not. If retiring means that you can throw aside
your duty to your professional oaths, then you’ve created a whole new genre of
libel, it would seem to me.
Regarding the “Oprah” show, perhaps you missed it entirely,
There was “no one from the opposing side” because there was NO opposing side to
represent. The show was about women who experienced post-partum depression and
post-partum psychosis, the extremes it can take, what women need to know about
it and how they can get help. These illnesses are not disputed by the medical
community.
Why do you?
It saddens me to find yet one more person who gains
personal gratification by spreading hatred and invective in this already
difficult world.
I feel sorry for you, Nancy. It is clear to me that
yours is a greatly suffering soul much in need of healing. May God forgive
you.
