OCR Page 1 of 15-3-
Mr. Phelan omitted the fact that in the seven weeks
since the defendant has been charged the prosecution
has refused to make any statement regarding the case
which might reflect upon the defendant's chances to
obtain a fair trial.
And finally, in his haste to create a picture of
a
District Attorney's office which rushes to judgment,
Mr. Phelan has omitted to say that my staff is now in
its fifth year of office and not a single defendant has
yet to walk out of the courtroom with an acquittal on
a
murder case. Does this sound like a prosecutor's
office which rushes to judgment without evidence and
without just cause?
The fact is that our record for not rushing to judgment
is unscarred. On the other hand, the Saturday Evening
Post has had spectacular problems in this regard, as is
attested to by judgments against it for many hundreds
of thousands of dollars -- the result of earlier uninformed
enthusiasms resulting in a questionable portrayal of facts.
