I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences. Today is one of those experiences.

My job as a prosecutor is to do justice. And justice is served when a guilty man is convicted and an innocent man is not.

I don't stand by the understanding of that statement that I will ignore other facts or other experiences because I haven't had them. I do believe that life experiences are important to the process of judging - They help you to understand and listen - but that the law requires a result. And it would command you to the facts that are relevant to the disposition of the case.

I come to every case with an open mind. Every case is new to me.

I am willing to bet that there are some Puerto Ricans who don’t know about [their status].

It is our responsibility to explain to the public how an often unpredictable system of justice is one that serves a productive, civilized, but always evolving, society.

You can't dream unless you know what the possibilities are.
