“I think prosecutors and the judge are going to see the case as a perfect vehicle to send a message that this sort of conduct, whatever the motives, just won?t be tolerated. And I think that push is going to be more powerful than any argument that they get a lot of leniency because of their age or anything else.”
Andrew Cohen
“We think this is an important first step and we urge the prosecutor to go further and higher, up to the political actors who were manipulating these militias for their own ends.”
Richard Dicker
“I don't think there's any question that prosecutors who adopt a 'KISS' (keep-it-simple, stupid) strategy usually are able to make a much more meaningful and cogent presentation to the jury.”
Jacob Frenkel
“If the special prosecutor has any announcement to make then I think you could expect that we'll have more to say after that.”
Scott McClellan
“No I don't think it's belated and no it's not a last minute move. (Prosecutors) actually had notice that we wanted interviews for several weeks.”
Randy Smith
“I don't think prosecutors start out suspecting their own witnesses to be criminals.”
Laurie Levenson
“It's surprising to me that the prosecutor would even think about charging (Etheridge) in this case.”
