The Cook should be in a Protection program.

Will the Wake DA make the following statements repeatedly in National interviews:

"The racial slurs involved are relevant to show the mindset … involved in this particular attack, And, obviously, it made what is already an extremely reprehensible act even more reprehensible."

"The contempt that was shown for the victim, based on race was totally abhorrent"

"In this case of assault is bad enough in and of itself, but when it's made with racial with racial epithets against the victim, I mean, it's just absolutely unconscionable,"

"This is not the kind of activity we condone, and it must be dealt with quickly and harshly."

“It is important that we not only bring the assailants to justice, but also that we lift the cloud of suspicion from those PD members who were not involved in the assault.”

“The circumstances of the attack indicated a deep racial motivation for some of the things that were done. It makes a crime that is by its nature one of the most offensive”

"It is a case that talks about what this community stands for"

"We're talking about a situation where had somebody spoken up and said, 'Wait a minute, we can't do this,' this incident might not have taken place"

"This is not a case of people drinking and it getting out of hand from that. This is something much, much beyond that."

"In 70 percent of Hate Crimes, there is No DNA."

“I feel pretty confident that a battery occurred.”

"My presence here means this case is not going away.”

“They don't want to go up against me.”

"The information that I have does lead me to conclude that a assault and battery did occur"

"His general demeanor was suggestive of the fact that she had been through a traumatic situation.”

"The investigators, clearly, has not been fully cooperative"

"There's been a feeling in the past that Durham Police are treated differently by the court system”

"When I looked at what happened, I was appalled. I think that most people in this community are appalled"

"I would like to think that somebody has the human decency to call up and say, 'What am I doing covering up for a bunch of hooligans?'"

"Anytime you have a victim who can identify the assailant, then what you have is a case that must go to the jury"

""I'm not going to allow Raleigh's view in the minds of the world to be a bunch of Durham Police beating a black man
from Raleigh."

"It's not me that's trying this case in the media"

“As you might imagine, I have received hundreds of letters, e-mails, and telephone calls from across the country about this case since the beginning, but five of those letters are of particular significance to me, because each comes from someone who was once himself the victim of an assault and who chose not to report it to law enforcement. Two of those letters are from former Durham Policemen who were assaulted by other former Durham Police officers."

"One would hope that I would not be proceeding without some evidence."

"One would wonder why one needs an attorney if one was not charged and had not done anything wrong."

"We're asking someone from the Police force to step forward"

"It just seems like a shame that they are not willing to violate this seeming sacred sense of loyalty to the PD for loyalty to community"

"My guess is that some of this stone wall of silence that we have seen may tend to crumble once charges begin to come out."
