You can not write to Cynthia Sommer as she is not incarcerated. If she hasn't written a book, she should. Someone decided she was guilty and built a case based on that belief instead of looking at the evidence. She loved her husband and was deeply grieving, which can make you make bad decisions. She filed a lawsuit after the fact but it was dismissed.
