It has been a harrowing experience for my parents and they have been subjected to harassment by the press. They have run from pillar to post to prove their innocence. Despite being the aggrieved party, we are being termed the aggressors, manipulators, and villains." She also added, "My humble plea, with folded hands to the press and all those reading this, is please don't convict us before the court's verdict. Please put things in perspective. All I want is a little fairness."
