Hamilton: No offense taken, I've said a lot worse. What keeps me wanting to continue is what has been going on in the country, along with the criminal justice system. We have a lot of problems in the United States when it comes to protecting our children, or making sure that the wrong person isn't sitting in prison for a crime he didn't commit. During my time as a prosecutor, I've seen a lot of improvements to the criminal justice system, such as the expansion of what is classified as a hate crime, and the "three-strikes law", which I fully endorse. However, I'm always looking at the one family out there, who's still looking for answers, who's still looking for justice, for their son, daughter, brother, sister, mother, father, etc. I've been asked a lot by people, "you've been active in the community for so long, why don't you just retire?", and I always reply with the same comment - if I don't look for justice, who can I trust to get the job done?
