You have the right to say "NO" to an interview. Never feel that because you have unwillingly been involved in an incident of public interest that you must personally share the details and or your feelings with the general public via the media. By knowing and requesting respect for your rights, you can be heard and yet not violated.
 FREQUENCY Increases the more time the cycle is completed, the less time it takes to complete the cycle when it happens.

criminal justice system, and to highlight some of the many accomplishments our office
made from 1993-2003.
