"We'll be open to any suggestions his attorneys make." Rosenthal said. "And we'll consider everything in this case. The earmarks of this case look to me like it will have to be resolved by a trial. Certainly if we can resolve it by something other than trial that's fine with me." This Rosenthal guy doesn't sound like a prosecuting attorney to me. In fact, he talks as if he's pre-disposed to favor the defendant.
Much more than that. Rosenthal is actually apologizing to Bradford for doing his job!
