In your issue of March 25, you print an article by Lisa Provence setting forth the "harassment" of Steven Turner by the Charlottesville Police Department in their attempt to obtain a DNA sample [News, "Fishing trip: 'Harassment' charges in rapist search"].

In the same issue, you publish Turner's attempt to rationalize his refusal to provide such a DNA sample [Essay, "Profile surprise: how I made the CPD's hit list"].

As Shakespeare said, he "doth protest too much," methinks.
