John Edgar case

Wrong to publish
Letter to the Editor
by Tania Collins (13) Hamilton

Mr John Edgar is being judged just by what an 11-year-old boy is saying; but is there actually any proof of what he is being accused of?

I believe that it is totally wrong of The Waikato Times to put a photograph of Mr Edgar in the newspaper and for people to judge him when they haven't heard his side of the story; haven't you ever heard of innocent until proven guilty. I believe that he is innocent as I was in his class in the year of 1992.

I believe that people shouldn't judge him because people wouldn't want other people to judge them if they were in his shoes.
