Here's a letter I just sent to Mr. Eblen, Managing Editor of the Lexington Herald-Leader. His email address is teblen@herald-leader.com

Subject: Les Coleman Trial & Conviction Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2000 11:14:27 -0500 From: C To: teblen@herald-leader.com

Dear Mr. Eblen,

Thank you for reporting on the Coleman story.

I'm writing today to ask that you run yet another Coleman story that provides information about the Defense arguments in this case rebutting or responding to the prosecution's evidence.

Also, could you provide information as to why Coleman's job at WLXG ended - was it some conflict about Coleman's style, subject matter, relationship with management or was it part of a long planned format change. If it was a format change, was the decision unusual by WLXG standards or industry standards?

I'm also interested in Coleman's work as a private investigator. Was Coleman self-employed? Did he contract for various agencies, and if so, what other agencies? What sort of investigations did Coleman conduct?

Finally, about Mr. Coleman's children in foster care - are they being kept together, or were they seperated? Did the Colemans have any say as to where and with whom the children were placed? Will the children be allowed to visit their father and will those visits - transportation, etc. - be facilitated by the Commonwealth?

Any follow-up reporting about the Coleman case will be much appreciated.

Sincerely,

C
