Where does Mr. Tharpe go to get his reputation back?

Published

on

The more I hear about the case against our former mayor the more it smells. If the information is correct that the prosecutor & police tried to force a witness to lie I can no longer keep silent. That action would be far worse than the perceived crime! If the case is dismissed, where does Mr. Tharpe go to get his reputation back?

This could happen to any of us! What can the defendant do get justice on the over jealous and questionable methods used against him. If there is a case OK, but if there is not quit slandering good people. Should there be punishment for unethical law enforcement practices?
