G'evening Everyone!
BREAKING NEWS: I was alerted to an upcoming article that was coming fresh off the presses at the Washington Post. The article has been posted about Mr. John Yeh. Please read:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/05/AR2010010504023.html
There are a few important people mention in this article: Ms. Jamie Berke, Mr. Robert Mason, Mr. Matthew S. Moore (of Deaf Life), and Ms.Diane Plassey Gutierrez.
I like Matthew Moore's quote at the end of the article:
"This is definitely bad news for the deaf community, considering that several of the accused are deaf and that Viable is alleged to be the chief player in the scandal, but I prefer to reserve judgment until . . . the judicial system reaches a verdict," Moore said. "It's a terrible situation."
I have posted in the past and had encouraged fellow bloggers and vloggers that we shouldn't be posting about Mr. Yeh's terrible arrest and his situation. But it seems the Washington Post is ready to send a FIRESTORM into the deaf community where we will judge Mr. Yeh and all of his accused partners in crime long before the court has a chance to render it's legal verdict. That's not all, The Washington Post has now poisoned the minds of the potential fellow deaf jurors for the upcoming trial. Even as Mr. Yeh's lawyer, Mr. Paul Kemp, has said that the defense is still gathering information. That is to say, they are still preparing a defense in the upcoming court battle.
I wish the Washington Post staff writers,Maria Glod and Carrie Johnson along with staff researcher Meg Smith, had not done this article at all. Personally, the Washington Post should have allowed the Justice Department have their day in court first rather than making an open smear attack upon Mr. Yeh, which would allow the justice department have an advantage.
The truth must come out and Mr. Yeh and the people involved in the criminal complaint must have their day in the court of Law. But not at the Washington Post's expense of selling news stories for profit and to poison the minds of the deaf community, nor the hearing community as well.
Semper FI.
