Doing It Right. Miss America Style.

An undercover sex sting that used Miss America as bait may be in trouble after the beauty queen told prosecutors that she does not plan to testify against the men she helped arrest.
Lauren Nelson, 20, of Lawton, Okla., worked with police in Suffolk County to target would-be Internet sexual predators, taped for an episode of the TV show "America's Most Wanted."
She posed as a teenager and lured men into chatting online and meeting her at a home, where police and crews were waiting. Eleven men were arrested in the sting.
But one or all of the cases against the men could be in jeopardy after Nelson told prosecutors she did not plan on returning to Long Island to testify, said Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota in Newsday's Tuesday edition.
Why in the hell would you take part in a sting operation of this nature if you had no intention of testifying?
It sounds to me like Miss America simply wanted the good press for participating but then backed out when she realized the process would take longer than the 15 minutes of fame she was after. Either that or her busy schedule serving as Miss America makes it impossible to do the right thing.
