With all due respect, I fail to see why your paper is almost daily bashing Sheriff Chuck Jenkins and his three deputies before the investigation and facts are complete with regard to the Saylor case. Just because the medical examiner ruled that Saylor died from asphyxia does not mean this should be ruled a homicide. According to the dictionary, homicide means “the killing of one human being by another.” Asphyxia means “suffocation.” So, what you are telling the public is that these deputies’ actions directly cost this young man’s life.

Having been out of town when the unfortunate incident resulting in the death of Robert Saylor occurred, I grieve for the Saylor family, which has endured such hardship over the years to lovingly raise a handicapped offspring only to see a tragic end occur. The Saylor family deserves to be lifted up and loved, themselves, as they suffer through the next days and weeks. From all indications, they are to be admired greatly for all that they have done in the past and will do in the future for other handicapped individuals.
