From my perspective, popular opinion is a very dangerous bellwether to hold prosecutors to. … I think it gets worse when you move form popular opinion to legislative opinion. … And if there’s any way to make, it worse it’d be to allow it to be influenced by talk show opinion.

3. Fantastic...
No one should be influenced by some pundit spouting off...particularly when said pundit(s) are as ignorant as they are, or act like a rabid wolverine in a dumpster filled with carrion.

Let's get on w/the trials, and if these people are found guilty, they need to be locked up for life. Let's not make martyrs of them, let's treat them as the criminals they are if found guilty.
