re: DA's Reasoning for Dropping Cam's Charges...

"I want to emphasize once again that the main reason I'm doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years, working and sweating, while we were all in the air conditioning,"

So the DA didn't want to drag these two upstanding citizens through the mud and tarnish their reputations by pursuing obviously bogus charges backed by insufficient (at best) and illegal (at worst) "evidence." He should be commended as the protector of justice that he is. The easy route would have been to go through with a trial to attempt to give the locals their pound of flesh, but instead he chose the difficult path of honesty and integrity.
