Each case is based on its own merits and facts, but it has been my experience that a change of venue is very rarely granted.

This case is really about avarice, it's about greed, and it's about human frailty.

We certainly hope it acts as a deterrent, even if it benefits one case. These cases are so terrible that they can be life threatening or fatal.

It's a legislator reaction to a real life problem that we face every day.

I'm telling you now, if the facts don't change, it is the most overwhelming case for grand jury perjury I have ever seen in my life. And what am I going to do?

Firefighters don't like the term 'culture change.' They think it's an assault on tradition. But look at the facts. Half of the firefighter deaths each year are due to heart attack, and another 25 percent are guys who die in car accidents on the way to the fire. Firefighters are indeed heroes, but these are not hero deaths.
