I think the prosecutor is in many ways the most important person in the whole criminal justice system.

A criminal defendant's constitutional right to a fair trial, regardless of who he is, is fundamental to our criminal justice system.

I have said many times and in a lot of different contexts that our criminal justice system is the envy of the world.

Prosecutorial misconduct cannot be tolerated. I would not tolerate it when I was a prosecutor.
