Travesty

"I understand the girl that killed Mrs. Finch didn't do any jail time, is that right?"

He chuckled, "Her father was on the town council, his wife was head of the P.T.A., and they were best friends with the mayor and his wife. That girl could've taken a gun and shot Mrs. Finch through the head in the middle of the town square and she wouldn't have faced any charges. I was just a cub reporter at the time but I wrote an editorial about what a travesty it was, and the editor at the time would not print it."
