Prosecutors and the District Attorney:
We Never Believed Robert Was Guilty 

Trial Prosecutor John F.X. Riley and his predecessor, John A. Riley never seriously believed that Robert was guilty of any crime for which they argued. Nor did the Delaware County District Attorney nor any other prosecutor. Not one person was willing to swear under penalty that Robert was guilty. Robert’s being imprisoned anyway is a great dishonor and disrespect for their offices. It is not clear how those who are supposed to uphold justice are themselves maligned by an injustice. It is hoped that they can vindicate themselves.
