To the Editor:
As Chairman of Commission on Racial and Ethnic Disparity in the Criminal Justice System, I take serious issue with the recent article in the Law Tribune ("Appellate Bar Split Over Hispanic Court Nominee," Jan. 14, 2013) regarding Judge Carmen Espinosa’s nomination by Governor Dannel Malloy to be a member of the Connecticut Supreme Court. The article was filled with negative comments, all based on unattributed sources, and besmirches the name of an accomplished member of the Hispanic community whose life illustrates the principle that hard work and determination can pay off.
