Hicks, 38, West Valley City, has been awarded the dlizen-o- f for the month of Decern ba. Hicks was driving into a local pharmacy when he observed the suspect of an armed robbery at the pharmacy fleeing from the scene. Hicks gave chase in his car, using his own vehicle to block the suspect's car from leaving. Hicks vehicle received considerable damage from the suspects vehicle when it was pushed out of the way so the suspect vehicle could leave the scene. Hicks was instrumental in providing the police with detailed descriptions of both the suspect and the suspect vehicle, including the license plate numbers. e-month te Because of the information provided by Hicks, the suspect was apprehended and arrested for the armed robbery and is currently awaiting prosecuting through the courts.

It is the decision of this reporta and ha editor to print the story that leads to the suicide of a distraught witness. It is the decision of Michael Gallagher to set up the papa to reap his own revenge. Otha consequences include victims innocent or not, with ruined careers and tarnished reputations. The best scene of the movie occurs when all the parties involved are ordered to assemble for an inquiry headed by a U.S. Deputy Attorney General (played by William Brimley.) This high office has been embarrassed by the whole mess and Brimley warns them that no one can leave until he Finds out who is responsible. As it turns out, no one is complaely innocent. Everyone must share the blame. The First hour of the movie is slowpaced but groundwork is laid for an second half. Sophisticated dialogue is heard regarding libel laws and the First Amendment that will hold special interest for those interested in journalism. It is true that newspapers are manipulated by people for personal gain. It is also true that newspapers possess an awesome powa that can both debilitate or reward. And it is true that people work for newspapers and that these people are sometimes guilty of poor judgement. Absence of Malice,' is a movie about all these issues. However, just as the motives of people diffa, so do the motives of newspapers. Good and reputable newspapers attempt to be fair. Good newspapers will strive for truth and accuracy no matta how idealistic that phrase may be. Good newspapers will print both sides to the story but it is up to the public to look for both sides to read before they make any decisions Corrections Division halfway house in spite of public opposition on the issue.
