Without falling into the trap presented and outlining people of note and indicators, I think we have to look at it as public policy isn't based on personality, public policy is based on situations. I think it wasn't about having someone--they have a right to appeal anyhow--have the right to grieve. You could simply turn it the other way. If a decision was made and we found out years later, because other evidence had come forward, that the person wasn't treated fairly.... This is odd for me to be saying. It's plausible--and we've seen this time and again from the courts--that all the evidence wasn't in place and that someone would be allowed the right to at least have an appeal process. So I just put that for the record and away we go.
