LAWYERS HAVE STAKEIN DRUG UNIT'S SEIZURES

In response to "Drug unit's seizures from arrestees stir debate" (Oct. 14):

How many people are worried about a drug dealer's financial problems?

Your story about the York County drug unit seizing drug dealers' money and 
other assets was incomplete. You quote two defense attorneys but fail to 
mention that dealers, having had their money seized, are less able to pay 
such lawyers.
