The American people do not want people thumbing their nose at the law. It undercuts the very fabric of our society and the system of civil justice and of criminal justice as well.

Society is now less convinced of the absolute accuracy of the criminal justice system.

There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.

I therefore believe that our system does not have a word for failed trial, and that is where the American public does not realize that our criminal justice system sometimes makes mistakes.

Experience has taught me that privacy truly is the touchstone of our criminal justice system.

It's really important to me that the public have confidence in their criminal justice system. We don't operate very well if the public doesn't trust us.
