I sure hope The Watkins family gets alot of donations , they need to hire an attorney. This has gone on for way too long. They've been patient long enough! How about a pro -bono lawyer stepping up and helping the Watkins family. Surely there is 1 good hearted attorney left in this country?

Ashland needs to treat the Kenneth and Shirley Skinner family like the scum that they are. They should not be allowed in any business, nor should anyone talk to them and they should be scorned at Church. Post informative brochures all over Ashland and Springfield area. Do not support their business. The brochure should state the facts and let readers draw conclusions..which is pretty easy to do. Begin a letter writing/email campaign to media and goverment. Have a rally to remove the current Police Chief. He is obviously crooked.

Even if they evade jail time, they can't get around God. They can't pay him off.

Oh, and Shirley Skinner's son, Ed (Jennifer's Uncle) owns Midwest Pallet Company. Boycott it and tell everyone to do the same.

i can't believe that something like this could happen in Ashland. i think it is just so wrong for her to get away with something like that. i can't even believe that the cheif of police would be that stupid to try and cover something like that up. when i lived there back in the late 60's and early 70's, the town was a quite town. my sisters and i grew up there, went to school there, and went to church at the church of God. my sister,mother,father, and grandparents are all buried there, in the Ashland cemetary.
