Notable Quotes 2
this started as a state case and Alex wanted it to stay a state case, but to provide for minimum protections for the victims, both in terms of jail time and compensation — in other words, this was a floor, not a ceiling.
My personal opinion was that Alex wanted Barry Krischer to save face, but Alex never said that openly to me.
Red Flags 2
- The statement that the agreement was a 'floor, not a ceiling' suggests a potential underestimation of the severity of the crimes and the need for greater justice for the victims.
- The desire to 'save face' for Barry Krischer raises questions about potential political or personal motivations influencing the handling of the case.
