I have known mr. Hyde and his entire famaliy for over 25 years. I have nithing but the ut most respect for him and his famaliy. Further more I believe that this website as well as the media do all of us a diservice when you only post the enital story and not the conclusion. and as far as peoples (Expletive deleted by site moderator) disclaimer of innocent till proven guilty in the court of public opinion peole like granny up there have already crucifide him and want to take away all thasomeone has worked so hard for. so I sugeest this site and others do their dodillagence and report the whole story not just a small part.
