From a report: "I don't think that'll be the case," Parson said when asked what he would do if the prosecutor didn't pursue the case. "That's up to the prosecutor; that's his job to do."

"If somebody picks your lock on your house -- for whatever reason, it's not a good lock, it's a cheap lock or whatever problem you might have -- they do not have the right to go into your house and take anything that belongs to you," Parson said.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
