Modern parallel
Letter to the Editor
by L R Garner, Avondale

Centuries ago a fellow was tried and crucified, because of public hysteria, and he came back to haunt them, according to the scriptures. Yes, his name was Jesus.

This century a fellow has been tried and crucified because of public hysteria, and, with the information now becoming available, he may be coming back to haunt our justice system. Yes, his name is Ellis.

I have the strong feeling that an honest examination of the Ellis case may well show not only the hysteria but political interference, or at least intentional delays, so as not to expose the hysteria that was called justice.
