Crime, politics and Preakness captured through photography | READER COMMENTARY

I would like to commend The Baltimore Sun for the recent online photo gallery taken during the Preakness Stakes festivities (”2023 Preakness: Our favorite photos of the week’s racing and festivities,” May 22).

I am glad The Sun captured photos of three former Baltimore City elected officials, two of whom have been convicted of criminal charges (Editor’s note: One had her conviction lifted, however, when given a probation before judgment sentence), and the third is currently under indictment awaiting justice, a process she seems expert in delaying.

But on that perfect day, the ladies were all stunning and for a instant that exists only in a photo, it was a perfect world.
