An editorial of August 15 entitled “Fair Trial, Free Press, and the Constitution” criticizes District Attorney Craig Stedman for jeapordizing Michael Roseboro’s rights to a fair trial by making prejudicial statements concerning the case before the media, thus tainting the objectivity of any jury pool. It concludes “Mr. Stedman’s evident and alarming affection for the camera and the sound bite bodes ill for those coming before his office seeking justice.”
WATCHDOG: We wished we and the Lancaster Newspapers had made those observations.
We are delighted that the Post is finding its bearings and beginning to live up to its full potential. We will all benefit from its presence.
