And the American public was able to make up their own mind whether this verdict was a just verdict or not. So I think there's a lot of value in the public being able to see how the system works or doesn't work, so I think there's a definite value there.

I did not do anything wrong as a governor, even if you accept the verdict as it is, it doesn't indicate that.

We have accepted the principle of democracy and we are committed to respect the popular verdict and the result of that national consultation.

I experienced the judgement of a lot of people - and deservedly so.

I have great faith in the jury system.

I am grateful that I live in a nation where most believe that one's punishment should fit their wrongdoing and that ours is a nation that judges an individual by both what he has done and how he has changed.

As a judge, I held people accountable when they did wrong. That's why I cracked down on violent criminals and stopped the big banks when they tried to kick families out of their homes.

People will judge you according to your own convictions.

I had faith in the concept and the theory that all Americans are endowed with the right to a fair trial and I would be fairly judged and fairly tried.
