He described the situation as a "'tragic rush to accuse' by an overreaching district attorney."

"I think a lot of people owe a lot of apologies to a lot of people,"

"Based on the significant inconsistencies between the evidence and the various accounts given by the accusing witness, we believe these three individuals are innocent of these charges,"

"This case shows the enormous consequences of overreaching by a prosecutor,"
