Double-standard
I read with interest the article on Douglas County prosecutor Laurie A. Hurst (formerly Laurie A. Steinman) who was fired in December 2006 after admitting to an affair with former Douglas County Judge Grafton M. Biddle, who has since resigned, pending possible disbarment (“Suspension urged for prosecutor,” Sept. 8).
Why was this five-sentence brief relegated to Page 13, with no pictures? Was it of less public interest than the half-page article, accompanied by a very large picture, about someone discovering old temporary grave markers in their backyard (“Backyard project paves way to grave discovery”)?
I would like to read the same kind of article about former prosecutor Hurst and former Judge Biddle (along with photos) as the one that ran in the Rocky Mountain News on June 15 about the late Judge Larry Manzanares (“Black cloud will linger for judge”).
The same news coverage given to a disgraced Denver Democratic judge should be accorded disgraced Douglas County Republican officials.
