After the hearing, Mark Gotsi of the Ohio Innocence Project came up to me and said, J.D., I've got to tell you something. You're the only prosecutor I've ever heard actually apologize to a defendant. Joe, imagine how remarkable that statement is.

We took 40 years of your life combined, but we're not even going to apologize to you. Now, probably because they're assuming that it's going to protect the state's interests better. I'm a firm believer in that if the state suffers, then maybe it deserves to suffer. And that's justice.

No, it was because I, yeah, I mean, it was that. I mean, the assistant prosecutor Rosenbaum that you're referring to with these cases, he was the assistant prosecutor. He was heavily tied in with that office because he had been the chief prosecutor for a very long time under an individual by the name of Greg White, who was the Lorain County prosecutor at the time.

Now, Greg White doesn't get mentioned. You probably never even heard his name. Now, that's interesting. He was the county prosecutor during that time. He seems to have escaped criticism. I think part of the reason is he's smart enough to be quiet. So when these cases come out in public, he doesn't say very much. But the truth of the matter is the buck stops at the office holder.

Two cases, and those are the only two I review. Now, that doesn't mean most of them are probably good. That's the way the statistics are. But I think it was pretty scary, the thought of me going through all those cases, and I think they knew that I was open to that type of stuff.

And so I think that created these enemies that I never thought they would go as far as they do. I just never, you know, maybe it's naivete, but I was just, I never assumed that they would go that far. But they did. Yeah.
