To the Editor:

Two weekends ago I went to the district attorney debate in Canton at the Colonial Theater. The debate was between Democrat incumbent assistant district attorney Jim Moore and Republican challenger assistant district attorney Ashley Welch. 

At the door I was told that I could ask a question to either candidate. I wrote a very serious question for DA Moore. Although the debate ended about an hour early and most of the questions were not very revealing, my question was never asked. 

My question to Moore was as follows: In a recent liberal newspaper, Moore was criticized for “forgetting” a warrant in a capital crime case for two months during his term as ADA. Why Moore did you allow this error, and if re-elected what would you do to prevent it from happening again? I would be very happy if Moore could answer this question.
