A Sheriff in Search of a Spotlight

Little Samantha Runnion was victimized twice (“The Odd Payoff of a Crime,” by Scott Martelle, July 6). First, by her murderer. Second, by the sickening self-promotion and back-slapping engaged in by Mike Carona and other Orange County officials after her death. Is it any surprise that the Bush White House, which has grotesquely exploited 3,000 9/11 deaths for political gain, is impressed with Carona for his exploitation of Runnion? The most dangerous place to be in Orange County? Between Mike Carona and a TV camera.
