Stupid comment hall of fame
Everyone at some point says something you wish you could take back. You might say something without thinking, or it just comes out wrong. Prosecutors seem to do it often, perhaps because they get so carried away with preserving our way of life ;).
Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley definitely has to be in the running, for comments he made regarding a federal lawsuit recently filed by the Innocence Project. They are trying to force Williamson County to let them test evidence from two murder cases, which they think are related. In one, someone was convicted, and is serving a life sentence. In the other, no one was arrested and the family wants the evidence tested (so much for representing the victims!). In responding to the lawsuit, Mr. Bradley stated:
Let's hope he didn't think that one through. But then again, what reason is there to refuse testing in the first place, especially for a victim's family.

"Meanwhile, the public might want to remain skeptical of a defendant who to this day doesn't accept responsibility"I guess what that means if is if you want to test evidence to prove you are innocent, you have to admit you committed the crime. Of course, if you admit you committed the offense, then you have no reason to test the evidence.
