Shame on you for vilifying the young adults who are being convicted of those horrible crimes, the worst of which would have been committed while they were still 17-year-old minors. Shame on you for celebrating the sentencing of Cole Corey to prison; a decision that will affect the rest of his life.

Why does the Free Press finally decide to pay attention to tiny Tecumseh now? I have never read any articles in the Free Press profiling the "refrigeration capital of the world," state powerhouse wrestling and softball teams, the passing of patriarch Kenneth Herrick, or the accomplishments of Tecumseh philanthropist D.J. Martin.

I understand sex and scandal sell, but the ramifications of the articles will not mar the reporters' or editors' reputations like they will the families involved and the citizens of Tecumseh.

I'm guessing you had to look at a map to even find out where Tecumseh is. I've always assumed Lenawee was never mentioned in the paper because we're not part of metro Detroit, but for some reason it didn't stop you from covering this particular story in depth.

Where are the articles about all our wonderful young people and their achievements? Do you have to commit a felony to garner the attention of the Free Press? I say shame on the Free Press.

Did anyone else experience a slight case of nausea after learning Judge Harvey Koselka had forever altered a young man's (Cole Corey) life for one night of adolescent indiscretion ("Shock follows athlete's sentence," May 19)?

Make no mistake about it, I am neither excusing nor justifying the behaviors of the so-called Face Men. However, legally speaking, Cole Corey pleaded down to possession of ecstasy.

Are we really going to put this young man in prison for 2 to 10 years, ruin his football career, and forever tarnish what little dignity he has left for possession of a drug that runs rampant in 75% of high schools in Middle America?

Corey has been through more than most 21-year-old men will ever go through. He is visibly remorseful. He was a successful college athlete. And now he will serve 2 to 10 years alongside men who have committed far more heinous crimes than possession of a street drug.
