“I Am Happy That They Want To Bring Justice To Bear By Looking At The Allegations Against Him And Trying Him Fair And Square But I Would Not Want Him To Be Treated As If He Was A Convict When He Has Not Been Convicted.
“Not Until Otherwise, He Is Still My Citizen And As His Father, It Behoves On Us To Care For Him After All The Prodigal Son Had A Father.
