I want to sincerely thank Shari Hardway for her integrity and fairness throughout this process, and for ensuring I was not excluded from the magistrate report.
Your professionalism and commitment to due process truly mattered and did not go unnoticed.
And for the record, justice worked as it should. The matter was dismissed, and the accuser did not prevail.
