Didn't Deliberately Mean to Kill

RECEIVED Fri., Nov. 18, 2005

Dear Editor,
    After reading "Justice or Vengeance?" [News, Nov. 4] I feel sympathy for both families, but I do not believe Brandon Threet deliberately meant death to Terence McArdle. Threet's family and friends think he's a nice guy because he is. This was an accident that Mr. Threet should not have been sentenced 20 years for. This case was more about WilCo achieving another feather in its cap.
