I don\u2019t know if people of the CNMI wanted to know if Stanley did those that he was accused of or not, but I sure would like to know the truth behind it. For one thing, he is the people\u2019s champion and I want to continue to support him. While I agree that his attorney is doing a fine job and the AG and OPA screwed up, I don\u2019t think it is right for the evidence to be suppressed. For one thing, it is a public office and it is the taxpayer\u2019s money that was squandered. I want nothing other than to see my \u201cchamp\u201d walking out of that courtroom with his head high because he prove the AG wrong with their accusation and simply not thru technicality. Winning by technicality will only cast shadow on my mind. Thank you and may the good Lord pave the way for his return to congress. I\u2019ll pray for him.<\/p>\n<p>Edward K.
