To the Editor:

John Farrell and his family have my deepest sympathies as they deal with the “personal issues” from which he is suffering, as State’s Attorney Clay Campbell said Wednesday.

I wasn’t his supervisor, so I don’t know what those issues are, or even if Campbell does. Obviously, John wouldn’t have engaged in this misconduct if he were thinking clearly, but the same can be said of almost everyone who commits professional wrongdoing and/or criminal
acts.
