I don't think the letter [1] [2] does any pleading. Did Ashton Kutcher claim that sexual abusers don't have a right to character letters; otherwise I don't think hypocritical is an accurate description.

He obviously didn't know his friend very well if he never noticed the drugs his friend had though in all of the time they spent together.
