WHEN RELATIVES' NAMES ARE PERTINENT

IN MY OPINION, the reason Mrs. Munford's and Mr. Devore's names are in the news in connection with their relatives' crimes (letter Feb. 20) is that the average citizen would have been jailed for these same crimes long before now. I believe that Thomas Hardie's and Michael Devore's influential relatives are why they have managed to stay out of jail.
