Briston Town Council Chairwoman, Mary Parella’s, remarks clearly illustrate the Town Counsil’s indifference not only to the past actions of Gregg Marsili but to the rights and well being of Panayiota Bertzikis. One need not assume that Marsili is guilty to know that the evidence presented by Town Council of his innocence is insufficient and contradictory to common sense.
Christine O’Connor displays the same indifference for the rights and wellbeing of Ms. Bertzikis by failing to include a statement by her or, at the very least, by an organization well-informed on the matter of military rape and systematic cover-ups.
Scott Pickering also displays this indifference when he defends the article by stating that the paper lacks the resources to investigate the incident being reported on when all that would have been necessary to make this article balanced is to include a statement by the victim as I suggested above.
I hope that EastBayRI finds it’s courage and journalistic integrity because it matters greatly.
