Well, I mean, I think it was the appropriate thing to do. What got me angry was that the Commonwealth is taking the position that the dismissal was because Carly Medeiros was lying. And I don't think that's the reason for the dismissal at all. I think it was because the police officers were lying, and they knew that we were going to expose their lies.

Barbosa's testimony that he had never been in touch with Kali outside of this one controlled by and that's just not true and and we were ready willing and able to prove that today with not only Kali's testimony but documents and putting Barbosa on the stand and you know ultimately the Commonwealth said enough is enough and they dismissed it so we didn't get the opportunity to do that.

What I think should happen, any time that a police officer gets found to have engaged in misconduct, what should be happening with this district attorney's office is they should be going back through every single solitary case that that cop put his hands on and determine whether or not he lied in that case too, if the informant in that case was really an informant, or if this was all based on his sleeping with Kali Medeiros.

So what are you going to do about it? I'm thrilled that they're dismissing the case. It was the right result. But here's the problem. What are you going to do, Commonwealth of Massachusetts? What are you going to do, the police department? What are you going to do, the attorney general's office? What are you going to do, the federal government? Who's going to look into this?

Because we don't have the power to do it. Our power was what was going to happen today. And they quashed that by dismissing the case.
