The response of law enforcement and prosecutors to this threat didn't have nearly as much to do with the fact that it involved David Letterman as it had to do with the fact that Kelly Frank was the defendant, ... Once we knew of his criminal history and his behavior, we took this very seriously.

It also is important that people know law enforcement and our office were not driven by the fact that David Letterman's family was the victim, ... but that Kelly Frank was the defendant ... and that when we were able to take a look at his prior criminal record and criminal behavior we took it very seriously.

they're another law enforcement agency that has a lot of resources.

Here's a guy who says one thing and does another. He's been filing with [the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission] since April 2003.

He made a mistake, and we live by law, and law says we have to pay for it, but it is not worth ending your life over.
