I want to ask a specific security question.
00:02
Just one of them, too.
00:03
Okay, I'll come back to you in one second.
00:04
If there's a trial, will I be there?
00:08
Look, I'm going to leave all of that up to the prosecutors.
00:12
As I've said multiple times, I've got tremendous confidence in District Attorney Franchardo,
00:18
and I've got confidence in the Department of Justice, should they choose to bring charges.
00:23
If my presence is needed by the prosecutors, I'll be there.
00:27
If my presence is not needed, I don't need to be there.
00:31
They've asked me for a statement, an impact statement, as a victim of what occurred.
00:36
I provided that to law enforcement last week.
00:39
And whatever is needed from me, from Lori, from our kids, we're going to make sure we provide to the prosecutors.
00:45
I've been asked specifics about security, because I know you're not talking about that.
00:49
But state police has a very good team that assesses, does threat assessments, and builds at university.
00:54
Yep.
00:54
Last, I've told over the last several years, they've done assessments of this, and it passed
00:58
off to DGS, but they obviously didn't get acted on.
01:02
Now, are you aware of that, and what's your reaction?
01:04
I'm not aware of an assessment that they made that DGS did not act upon.
01:09
I'm not saying that didn't happen.
01:10
I'm not saying it did.
01:11
But that's a question I would defer to PSP and DGS.
01:15
That specialized unit has been on the ground here over the last week, making recommendations.
01:22
I'm sure presenting those recommendations, not just to Colonel Paris, but former Colonel Miller,
01:27
who's acting as the independent reviewer.
01:29
They'll work together with all the different experts that are brought to bear to make sure
01:34
that they present to us a final set of recommendations for both the infrastructure and for the systems.
01:40
I can tell you from an infrastructure perspective, they've already made some changes, and a number
01:45
more will be made.
