I majored in Shakespearean studies at a very tiny school in Georgia.

If I listened to my critics, I would still be at home under my bed right now.

I cracked a child prostitution ring - I'd worked with three vice cops every day for months, out on the street, in the cold, trying to track down the pervs and the young girls being prostituted.We finally got the convictions.Six or seven months later, I was working, and I glanced up at the TV, and it was a report on a federal case.It was all three of them, in federal court, in handcuffs. Every time they busted a drug lord or a doper, they'd take all their money and their jewelry and flat screens before sending them to jail. They had been stealing from dopers for years!

I don't know how much longer that's going to last but I can tell you this much: If I was to listen and pay attention to everyone that criticized me for, some rightly and some wrongly, I'd stay home under the bed. I don't mean under the covers, I mean under the bed. I would never have achieved a single thing.

It's hard for me to believe someone could harm a child.

Court TV will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will always look back at my time there with great gratitude and affection.

I always thought that was one of the single most important things a prosecutor could do is to seek justice for the families of victims.
