The letter from Joan Compagna in the opinion section of the weekend edition of your paper (SMDP, June 26-27) is typical victim B.S. She must be putting you on. Any indigent person can get free treatment by the grace of public policy. Also, if she truly has a case (and it sounds like she is litigation-savvy), there are thousands of private attorneys out there slavering for a good case. So, sorry, lady, your whining will probably get you some money from those who would believe your B.S. but it won’t cure your soul.
