"In a review of a very extensive investigation, [Assistant District Attorney Douglas Allen] said, 'It is my determination that the case is lacking sufficient evidence to proceed...'"
"Out of an abundance of caution, we sent this criminal case to the Santa Cruz DA's office to make sure there was not a perception of a conflict..."
"Apparently, they are not prepared to go forward with the prosecution...Reasonable prosecutors sometimes differ in their assessments of whether they can prove a case to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt."
"Santa Clara County prosecutors could re-file the criminal charge at a later time...provided the California Attorney General's Office reviews the case and clears any conflict."
