It's hard to find words to describe to you the unfairness, the miscarriage of justice, that they have charged my client. This kid is just an honorable kid. Never done anything wrong in his life. In my 32 years of experience, it's hard to believe something like this could happen.

It's hard to find the words to describe to you the unfairness and miscarriage of justice that they have charged my client. This is a family, an honorable kid who has never done anything wrong in his life. He's absolutely innocent and we intend to show that sooner rather than later.

We're in possession of irrefutable documentary evidence that shows Reade was not there when she says she was raped. I don't believe a crime occurred, but if it did, he couldn't possibly have been there.

I've known the guy for 25 years. I went over and thought surely he'd listen to me on it. And he sent some messenger out and said: 'I saw you on the TV saying your client was absolutely innocent, so what do we have to talk about?' He wouldn't even see me himself.

There's no way Reade could have done this.
