Notes: None Official Response Submitted to the Grand Jury Report: Yes: “Most of these allegations come from unnamed sources and the items in the list are duplicated, completely unfounded or substantively inaccurate. Yet, I want to acknowledge that the Grand Jury Report is something of a cry of the heart. It reminds us there is a lot of hurt out there concerning this difficult history. The report will offer affirmation and comfort to many aggrieved people, just as it may open old wounds and stir new suspicion. Still, in the spirit of the Report, I express my deep regret that anyone has found or believe their interaction with me - in any matter - to have been in any way harmful. Recognition of this possibility weighs heavily on me day after day.
