There's been a rush to judgment on all of these young men prior to any of the evidence coming out.

It's my understanding that allegedly she identified somebody. But when was the identification, and what were the circumstances?

Once these young men are vindicated, I feel that a big apology from the community is in order.

What happens if the DNA comes back and it's none of these young men? How do you apologize to them? How do you make it right? How do you restore their character?

It's very important that parents get involved if their children are involved in athletics, band, pep squad or something of that nature. It's very important for the parents to become involved because the fundraising activities and booster club activities are basically the way that most schools pay for those (transportation) expenses.

It's something that we don't want to do. I know how that hits the schools. I was a principal for 25-years and I know that was always tough to send that check every month for transportation, but its just something that we have to do.
