Finally, a decision from the legal system that makes sense! Thank you, Ramsey County District Court and County Attorney Susan Gaertner, for dropping the charges against that lovely, earnest man Koua Fong Lee and letting him go back to caring for his family. This decision let us all go free, from angst and embarrassment of another trial and the belief that Lee did nothing wrong. The splendid family of the unfortunate victims in this situation showed great courage and compassion, in spite of their grief. God be with them all, and help them heal. CYNTHIA SCHMIDT, SAVAGE
