Bruce Nelson
The idea that we're trying to cover up for the system is false. It's really infuriating. Does anybody believe prosecutors want to keep a system that's broken? That's sending innocent people to death?
Cliff Herberg

Arif Alikhan
The response of law enforcement and prosecutors to this threat didn't have nearly as much to do with the fact that it involved David Letterman as it had to do with the fact that Kelly Frank was the defendant, ... Once we knew of his criminal history and his behavior, we took this very seriously.
Joe Coble

Philip Hilder
When is enough enough? (Prosecutors) got their murder-one.
Jon Mcmullen

No case should be discussed [publicly] by people working on the case. Most especially not the prosecutors.
Freda Black
Normally, when a private prosecutor is appearing, it's with the conformity of the government prosecutor. If there was no coordination between private and public prosecutors, this is not in the best interest of the complainant. You are to coordinate with the government prosecutor.
Judge Renato Dilag
This is mammoth. The prosecutors in Little Rock are not up to speed on the (Steele) case.

Kathleen Clark
It's going to give tools to the prosecutors that they've asked us to give to them.
Rep Michael Festa
I think informally prosecutors talk and say, you know, 'What can we do to get minorities off the jury panel?' .
Henry Wade
It needs to be shut down. It's cynicism raised to a new art form. It's destructive to the democratic process. If 50 state prosecutors don't jump on this guy's back and every voter that participates, they aren't doing their job.
Deborah Phillips
We look forward to putting the case before the jury. Perry loves his father, but has a different account of what happened, or more particularly, what didn't happen. Arthur March has a very strong incentive to please the prosecutors.
John Herbison
Prosecutors will no longer need to search for a crime that in the end will not have a stiff enough penalty.
Kurt Bauer

She really knows that a prosecutor's best friend is the facts. Whether it's a street crime in D.C. or the vast complexity of the Enron investigation, she's going to know the facts cold.
Lisa Monaco
It is too early to draw conclusions. Greek prosecutors are investigating the possible illegal acts linked with the presence in the Getty of the Greek antiquities.
Giorgos Voulgarakis
It is of course not possible for the prosecutors to make a sound decision under so much pressure. We've come to the point where we're no longer able to protect our national values. Where will it all end?
Kemal Kerincsiz
The captain was only a sailor and not qualified to operate the ship. The prosecutor?s office has detained him and his assistant.
Nawaf Hamza
We're not going to cast aspersions on anyone being to blame for the (domestic violence) case not keeping him in prison. The prosecutor's office did its job. It's up to the courts and the corrections department to oversee his sentencing. Though obviously, the system failed somewhere.
William Cataldo
Untie the hands of state and federal judges and prosecutors, ... Give them options other than turning the courts into assembly lines that mass produce mandatory life-without-parole sentences for children.
William Schulz
The prosecutors -- I don't know how them people can live with themselves because of the lying that they do.
James Nichols
None of those now on death row have ever contested their guilt. It's harder to get a death penalty in Connecticut. So it's not worthwhile for prosecutors to seek it. Connecticut juries are required to make a reasoned moral judgment on whether the prisoner should die.
Harry Weller
I'm sure other special prosecutors have felt frustrated, but the general norm has been that if there's no criminal conduct found, people button their lips, wrap it up and move on.
Ken Gormley

Sabu George
We expect witnesses and jurors to come in and do their duties as citizens – do their job and do justice. And when they are threatened or harassed they are less likely to do that. It erodes everything we're trying to do as prosecutors.
Phil Sorensen
The European Parliament has sold itself cheaply...What we now have is that we have given the tools to government prosecutors to do what they want.
Alexander Alvaro
I've got a real hero, and that's Pat Collins. I thank God for Pat Collins and the job that he did, his character and the team of prosecutors.
Scott Willis
I would meet with them regularly and ask what they'd like to see. Team leaders (in the prosecutors office), supervisors and I instead of being in offices looking out and reacting to crime, should go out and be proactive.
Kent Morgan
We're not saying it's their fault or their problem. We don't know who or why or what happened clear back then 22 years ago. We simply called for the prosecutor's file. Any reasonable post-conviction counsel should have done that and did not.
Erin Riley
People say I've had brushes with the law. That's not true. I've had brushes with overzealous prosecutors.
