Jore should pay up like the rest of us

Editor,

This is an open letter to Rick Jore: I cannot believe what I just read. My understanding is that when you lose a case in court, the winning side collects and the losing side pays. That's how it has always been in cases I have seen and read about.

But to put your family in jeopardy and possibly out in the street and [lose] everything, you and they have worked for all your lives is more than I can understand.

Your words, not mine: "I realize that you now have the opportunity to collect this judgment via confiscation or lien on my property with full force of the law."

It seems to me that you put more pride in what you want than on your family.

I do believe that you have two sides to the law. As I see it, the rule of law only applies when convenient to you. When you thought you won, you wanted Jeanne Windham to pay your attorney fees; now that you lost, you still want her to pay your attorney fees.

What gives? Are you better than the rest of us?

You should talk to your attorney and get the facts on losing a case in court.

Ask him about the legal fees he could have avoided.

Stop your whining and pay up like the rest of us do when we lose a case.

Quit blaming others because you didn't get your way.
