“It’s our position that there’s not enough evidence to go forward,” Tangaro said. “This is an extremely difficult case to prosecute and pin on someone. There really are no witnesses.

“The media, the general public is immediately saying, ‘There’s four women, he’s obviously guilty.’ And we’re telling you there’s going to be information to rebut that,” she said.

“Absolutely, I’ve seen it. I know the inter-workings of the DA’s office and the way screenings work and things come in and I’ve seen similar cases come across my desk,” she said.
