Now that sort of creeps me out! We always hear about people hiding in plain site. Makes you wonder how many serial anythings w/huge egos would want to sit right under the very nose of someone who is the "NDAA state director and co-founder of the Media Relations Committee."

I just went to his website to get a quote on him and I followed the link to his NDAA profile and I found a few quotes that really rankle me:

"Marquis then pounded his point home, declaring, �The difference is that in this job, you get to be a part of justice not once in a while, but every single day, in every decision you make.�"

�When I speak at high school career day programs, I tell the students that being a prosecutor is the only job where you get paid to do the right thing. It�s what I call a morally luxurious job.�

I think bologna. I know Marquis has refused to accept plea bargains unless people confess to crimes that they did not commit, compounding their sentence. In my opinion, that is not the right thing. I understand it is how you clean the books up and maybe get a tougher sentence for someone but you don't then say you are morally superior or have a morally luxurious job. The person who actually comitted the crimes that Marquis made someone else claim to do to is free to continue their crimes. A lie is a lie isnt it? Doesn't it just show all of that person's family that the town/county is crooked if the DA is forcing someone to admit to something they didn't do, for whatever reason? Is there ever a good enough reason for a DA to lie or force someone else to lie? Doesn't it always have the reprecussions of people mistrusting the people that they are supposed to be turning to in their times of need?
