Dear Editor,
IN these painful days following the tragic death of young Adrianna Younge, our hearts are broken, our emotions raw and our yearning for answers overwhelming.
Every parent, every grandparent, every citizen feels the deep, aching need for justice — swift, true, and undeniable.

In the midst of all this grief, we must remember something important: truth does not rush. Justice does not bend to pressure. It demands patience, even when our hearts scream for immediate answers.
Three highly respected forensic pathologists — from Barbados, Delaware, and now New York — have been brought in to help uncover the truth.

These are professionals with decades of experience, men who have spent their lives seeking facts over feelings, clarity over chaos. They are not here to protect anyone, nor to please anyone. They are here to speak for Adrianna — and only for her.
I know it may be hard, especially when emotions are so high, but we must trust the process. These experts have built their reputations on truth and integrity.

They will not tarnish those reputations for anyone, not now, not in this case. They owe allegiance to no government, no institution, no agenda — only to the facts and to the child whose life was stolen too soon.

As unpalatable as the findings may be to some of us, we must be prepared to accept them when they come. That acceptance is not giving up. It is standing strong for Adrianna in the best way we can: by letting the truth — the real truth — guide the road to justice.

Let us be patient. Let us be strong. And above all, let us honour Adrianna’s memory not by tearing each other down, but by standing together for the truth she deserves.

Sincerely,
Michelle Goodridge
