Who's the real criminal?
To the Editor:
I was incredibly saddened and disappointed by the publication of Friday's article ("'Flower lady' off hook but doesn't please all," 10/6). An article that should have served to celebrate Annette's acquittal instead attempted to recriminalize her in the eyes of the Yale community.
By trying to find the despicable in Annette, that which "we couldn't imagine doing ourselves," the article only further perpetuates the notion that homeless people are subhuman, that they somehow deserve their lot in life because of decisions they've made in the past.
