Notable Quotes 2
People are surprised at the grand jury proceeding. It's a way for the prosecutor's office to not take the full responsibility for not filing the (charge), and not doing what the Palm Beach Police Department wanted. I think something fell apart with those underage witnesses.
I think it's unfortunate the public may get the perception that with power, you may be treated differently than the average Joe.
