“Fair question. I’ve got to have the evidence, and I don’t have it yet,” Freeman responded. “Let me just say it’s not my fault. So if it isn’t my fault, who didn’t do their job? Investigators.(Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension) They don’t work for me. They haven’t done their job.”Freeman said coming to a decision “is the big present I want under the Christmas tree.” Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman

“We are deeply concerned that the initial investigation was not done properly and with the greatest of integrity and sense of completeness,” Mr Ruszczyk said at the Sydney press conference on Thursday.Mr Ruszczyk said he had earlier been assured that “all necessary information to make a reasoned decision on whether or not to charge Justine’s shooter” would be provided to the County Attorney by the BCA.

Mr Ruszczyk cited a quote by American writer James Baldwin: "It is certain in any case that ignorance allied with power is the most ferocious enemy justice can have. this was particularly true when it comes to evaluating the use of deadly force by those sworn to protect us.Ignorance cannot prevail here," he said. We implore Mr. Freeman and the prosecutor's office to continue to pursue a rigorous investigation and examination of evidence of the events leading to Justine's death."
