The reason being that... the prosecutor was under duress from his own divorce trial.

Their chief is Kang Min Woo, age 36... a fast-tracking elite.

Tonight's execution of Craig Ferren demonstrated two things to this community... that justice has been accomplished for the family of Miles Kreski and the people of the state and that the office of the district attorney remains as tough on crime...

Do you object to our plan, Ms. Julian? Legally it passes muster, as the deceased donated his body to science.
