PROSECUTOR KYM L. WORTHY made some interesting comments in her press conference following the charges laid by her office against Mayor Kilpatrick of Detroit. She said:"You know the fundamental principles of the justice system are fairly simple – they aren’t hard. We learned them all as children:
Tell the truth
Take responsibility for your actions
Admit when you are wrong
Be fair and play fair
Don’t take or use things that aren’t yours
There are consequences for bad behavior
Even children understand that lying is wrong. If a witness lies, innocent people
can go to jail or prison, people can literally get away with murder, civil litigants
who deserve money may not get it or may get money they don’t deserve. And
lying cannot be tolerated even if a judge or jury sees through it."
