This week's "Your Turn" segment comes from the Action News 5 Facebook page where there are many different conversations about the tragic events this week involving the family of Jo Ann Bain and her daughters. We chose a comment from Wanda Little. In her words:
Last night, one of the newsmen on TV said that Adam Mayes had died and, therefore, would not be facing prosecution in this case. It is true that he may not have faced prosecution in this world, but in the very instant he drew his last breath, Adam Mayes had to stand before God and give an accounting for how he lived his life and for how he treated others. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall and heard the answer he gave to God as he stood there in that moment and accounted for what he did. I believe Adam Mayes has received justice for what he did, and I believe it is a far more strict justice than he would have received through this worldly legal system.
That's Wanda Little's turn. Now it's your turn. To comment on this segment or anything else, email yourturn@wmctv.com or call 800-465-1210.
