I interview a lot of people every year but not every guest makes a strong impression on me.   Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy did.  She takes her job seriously and she speaks her mind.  For the most part, she delivers on her “no nonsense” tough talk.  She knows the law and she works hard to seek what she believes is justice in the cases she prosecutes.  Friends and foes alike respect her. 

Young people, in particular, should listen carefully to what she will be saying on television tomorrow morning (Channel 7’s Spotlight on the News at 11:30 a.m.).  Her comments about our judicial system are a reminder of the important legal tenets that have guided this nation since the days of our founding fathers.

In 1789, President George Washington said, “The administration of justice is the firmest pillar of government.”  That same year, Thomas Jefferson declared, “The execution of the laws is more important than the making of them.” 

Both of these former U.S. Presidents would have enjoyed talking with Kym Worthy over a hot cup of coffee.
