Sung should be reunited with son

Posted October 04, 2011 12:00 am

In following recent articles related to the case of Nunu Sung, I find it concerning that presiding Judge C. Stanley Austin has made statements to the effect that the goal of the proceedings should no longer be to reunite the biological mother with her child. How is Ms. Sung to receive a fair, honest and objective ruling when Judge Austin has clearly stated his bias regarding Ms. Sung?

I am also outraged to learn that DuPage County State’s Attorney Bob Berlin has agreed to prosecute a petition to deny Nunu Sung of her parental rights. I believe that this injunction violates the terms of the plea agreement established in October 2010 — a plea agreement agreed upon by all parties involved in this case.

I am concerned of the consequence such action will have on the integrity of future plea bargains if Mr. Berlin is allowed to violate the terms of Nunu Sung’s plea agreement. Moreover, I find it unfair to renege on a legal contract when the defendant has held her end of the bargain. I demand honest and ethical behavior from Mr. Berlin. I implore you to honor the terms of the plea agreement. Nunu Sung deserves to be reunited with her son.
