PelhamToday received the following letter about the case of Fonthill butcher Richard Lowes.

It is very disturbing to read about the Lowes case going on for this long. Our justice system is an absolute joke. Any judge that allows this travesty to continue this long should be removed from the bench.

I don't care if you own a business and contribute to charities and such. You are not above the law. People should boycott his business to show their support for the victims. This needs to be taken care of immediately as the victims have suffered enough and have to live the rest of their lives with this.

Editor's Note: While this publication is long on record as sharing the writer's dismay at the protracted delay in justice in this case, legally speaking the accusers remain "alleged victims" unless and until a guilty verdict is handed down.
