What we are are seeing is a perversion of the criminal-justice system. Could a Villages burglar duck the whole system by anonymously returning the loot when things start to get hot? Incredible.

By the way, I would not object to a suspended sentence, fine, and restitution in this case. My objection is to the way this felony investigation has been handled and the lack of reporting as to what is going on. For example, what exactly is the deal that has been cut with the perpetrators' front organization, The Friends of Lake Miona, and the prosecutor? We are entitled to know.
Isn't the illegal clearing of these trees on publically owned property a crime against the citizens of Florida. If , so , how can anyone offer amnesty other than through judicial action?
