    Mr. buckley, let me explain it this way. and i'll do so very carefully & slowly so that even you will understand it. if i was the sheriff, i would not have arrested him. if i was on the grand jury, i would not have indicted him. if i was the judge, i would not try him. if i was the d.a., i would not prosecute him. if i was on the trial jury, i would vote to give him a key to the city, a plaque to hang on his wall, & i would send him home to his family. and, mr. buckley, if my daughter is ever raped, i hope i have the guts to do what he did.
