They brought Edward in with Megan's family, tearfully watching as he was being transported.

He was shown in a wheelchair being transported.

Apparently, he's been using a wheelchair since 2007 after being involved in a serious car accident.

When he was at that press conference, he was defiant.

He was saying that the police are just parading him around like a monkey.

He said that he didn't do this and he got support from two girls in the crowd who appear to be his daughters.

They're trading me like some freaking monkey here, but it's all good.

What do you want to say to Megan's family?

That I didn't do it.

I love Megan.

Megan was a great lover, great friend.

I'm definitely not guilty.

I love Megan with all my heart.

But only one week after he was brought in, he was out of jail.

It turned out that there was a bit of a clerical error when the arrest was made.

It was stated that the New York State Investigator signed the felony complaint written by police, but police failed to communicate the charges with the Orange County's DA's office.

The DA, David Hoevler, said that he didn't think that there was enough time to present the evidence to a grand jury for indictment, so he was released.

due to a miscommunication between government offices.

DA Hufler said, quote, once a defendant is charged and held in custody, the grand jury must vote an indictment within no longer than six days from the date of an arrest or the defendant must be released.

For that reason, complicated cases are normally at least partially presented to a grand jury before an arrest is made.
