December 16, 2005 Largo, Florida 33773 State's Attorney B. McCabe 142 50 49" Street Clearwater, Florida 33762 Dear Mr. McCabe = I wanted to comment on the efficient manner in which the case against rapist Jaques Fields was handled by Ms. Olney and Aaron Slavin... CRC 0414 439 CFA NO ~J. Pinellas County tax-payers such as myself can take pride in the professionalism of these two prosecutors. Their inter- action with me, the victim, was cooperative and polished. My all ~ too ~ frequent questions were always answered clearly and thoroughly. Because I have the annoying habit of thinking I am more knowledgeable than the experts, Mr. Slavin was particularly Deft in bursting my balloons without hurting my feelings. Having dealt most often with Aaron Slavin, I came to appreciate his sound judgment. Certainly, this young men's insight and Intelligence were crucial! in steering the matter to the eventual plea bargain settlement, a denouement I found most satisfactory. The months since July 17, 2004, the date of the crime, have been most onerous. Yet, the days would have passed with more difficulty had not Ms. Olney and Mr. Slavin directed the course of these challenging legal proceedings.
