This case is one of the more disturbing cases that I've ever encountered in my 11-year career as a judge,

It was a disturbing case, I can say that. That was the one that visibly took a toll on the department. It's not just the time and effort involved. You are concerned about the victim's families and the victims themselves.

I wish I could have a group like this every year. But if that was the case, coaching would be easy and everyone would be coaching. Like I told them before we came over here tonight ?no matter what happens, I am proud to have had the opportunity to coach them.

Usually in these cases, there's always two sides to it. In this case there seems to be one thing the government can do and that's to let him finish high school. I don't think what we're asking for is unreasonable.

We know in both cases he entered through a window and in one case the window was unlocked.

You could have made a case for him as newcomer of the year if we had had one of those. I thought he deserved to be on first team looking at the numbers and the type of year he had.
