It is never too late to start doing the right thing and begin putting your life on the right track. They say uncontrolled anger is like a creature loose in a person's mind and taming it demands focus and dedication.
Voters are more than aware of the devastating effects on families domestic problems can cause. The election results are in and voters who have for decades returned whoever the incumbent District Attorney has been, from W.G. Woods back in the 1970's to Mike Little all the way into this century, to serve as long as they like, have decided Logan Pickett should no longer represent us in prosecuiting crime. Mike little in a cowardly move vacated office before he was indicted or voted out - under a cloud of allegations including official oppression, malicious prosecution and trading sex for reduced sentences.
Voters probably would have preferred Pickett stepping down when his behaviors became public knowledge, but many will understand that the reason this behavior has persisted for over a decade has been denial. Hopefully now Pickett is left to face the biggest challenge of his life and he will have the courage to take it head on.
The public will know soon enough. If Pickett is unable to face his demons, look for him to assert the right to serve out the remaining nine months of his term. If he wants to do what is best for him and his family however, we will all hear real soon how he and newly elected District Attorney Jennifer Berrgman have coordinated a seemless way of Pickett handing over the responsibilities of that office to her in a way that considers the public and both of their interests.
