In the interview, she emphasized proximity to schools and children:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>One of my concerns about dispensaries that are in proximity to schools and parks and playgrounds is the possibility they could be the target of violence or armed robbery. People in the community may be supportive of the dispensary being in their community until there's a robbery and people come running out of the dispensary shooting guns...When a dispensary comes to my attention that is close to a school, a park, a playground or children, that's a line I've decided to draw.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The complaint against Harborside's landlords, however, have moved that line. Harborside is not near any facility that children may frequent, and Haag, in a statement, offered a new reason for going after a medical marijuana provider:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This office has used its limited resources to address those marijuana dispensaries that operate close to schools, parks and playgrounds. As I have said in the past, this is a non-exclusive list of factors relevant to whether we should commence civil forfeiture actions against marijuana properties, and circumstances may require us to address other situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I now find the need to consider actions regarding marijuana superstores such as Harborside. The larger the operation, the greater the likelihood that there will be abuse of the state’s medical marijuana laws, and marijuana in the hands of individuals who do not have a demonstrated medical need.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>While it may seem that Haag is changing the rules in the middle of the game, it is true that she left the door open for more expansive enforcement in her interview with Montgomery:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I can't promise going forward that it won't change. I can't promise that we very well may find an appropriate case for criminal prosecution. We very well may find a case where it's appropriate to not give notice to the owner of the property but simply to institute an asset forfeiture action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I cannot promise that we will not bring actions against dispensaries that are not close to schools and parks and playgrounds but for some other reason we felt that it was appropriate to expand our look. So I don't want to send the message to people that if you are more than 1000 feet from a school you will not be targeted.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"interview\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today I talked about the situation with Harborside Executive Director Steve DeAngelo, a passionate advocate of medical marijuana who appeared in the Discovery Channel reality series \u003ca href=\"http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/weed-wars/\">Weed Wars\u003c/a>. DeAngelo characterized the federal crackdown on medical marijuana as \"death by a thousand cuts,\" contending that U.S. Attorney Haag will continue to expand the criteria for taking action against marijuana facilities that are legal in the state of California -- but not under federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How do you see the action against Harborside?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HARBORSIDE'S STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: The Justice Department issued a statement that said we'd been targeted because of an abstract principle that larger dispensaries tend to result in more people inappropriately receiving cannabis. I don't think that's a valid principle, but even if it were, to target an organization like Harborside that has an exemplary record of legal compliance simply because of a general principle that may or not apply to other people in the industry is really an egregious abuse of prosecutorial discretion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What are Harborside's plans for the future?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/oakland-tribune/ci_21064582/customers-flock-marked-pot-dispensary\">We are open\u003c/a> and we have no intention of closing our doors voluntarily. We made a commitment to our patients six years ago to provide them with a safe place to get cannabis medicines and we're going to do that unless it becomes impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime I think the Justice Dept has grievously overreached; I think the amount of support both from public and elected officials demonstrates that. We intend to engage the Justice Dept. by every legal means.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Have you talked to your landlords, who are the target of these actions?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: The landlords at this point are evaluating the legal position they find themselves in. They are in legal communication with our counsel. At this point it's too early to say how it will unfold. We're confident we have not violated any of the provisions of our lease. I really feel for the property owners who, believing the Obama Justice Dept that they were not going to target organizations that were in compliance with state law and seeing we were licensed by the city of Oakland and in good standing, then leased us this property. Property owners are in a terrible position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: When U.S. Attorney Haag laid out the proposition that facilities near children would be her primary target, she also said she wasn't promising that she wouldn't expand those criteria. Comments?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: This is one in a series of lies. When the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/10/07/california-u-s-attorneys-issue-statement-on-targeting-marijuana-industry/\">U.S. attorneys announced their campaigns last October\u003c/a> they said they were going to go after profiteers and criminals who were using the medical cannabis law as a shield for those activities. In fact if you take a look at who they have targeted it reads like an honor role of the most legitimate and compliant operators in the medical cannabis industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So first it was supposed to be profiteers and criminals, then she started targeting organizations with the highest integrity like the Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana and Berkeley Patients Group and Divinity Tree and Vapor Room because they were supposedly too close to children. In San Francisco the park in the Tenderloin that one marijuana facility was close to had more crack vials and syringes than children playing in it and was directly cross the street from a strip club, a liquor store and an outdoor drug market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now she's saying it doesn't matter if you're not too close to a school if you're too large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So after she rolls up all of the large dispensaries, she's then going to find another category of dispensary to go after. Clearly this is a strategy of death by a thousand cuts and one misrepresentation is going to be followed by another until the public stands up and demands it stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Melinda Haag also said this in her interview with Michael Montgomery: \"Marijuana dispensaries are full of cash and are very public about them. Some of them go on television…\" Do you think doing \"Weed Wars\" maybe wasn't the best idea?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: We created Harborside intentionally as a model to demonstrate that medicine could be distributed in a way that brings benefits to communities not harm. We have an obligation to the patients that are in places that don't have access. It was always our belief that if all the world could see what we were doing at Harborside and see how we handled this medicine then they would support what we were doing. And that's true. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do I regret doing \"Weed Wars\"? Absolutely not. After it aired we had a flood of senior citizens coming in, veterans, people from states where they don’t have access to medical cannabis. We had dozens and dozens of parents of gravely ill children coming to us because of what they saw. We were able to greatly expand the reach of patients we were providing for, and we were able to provide a positive example of cannabis distribution for the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would say, however, that I think there's a connection between my outspoken views and Harborside being targeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: I personally know several people who have prescriptions for medical marijuana who are not really sick or have minor ailments. They have found it very easy to go to a doctor and get a prescription. What do you say to the argument that there are healthy people who are getting prescriptions and making a mockery of the law?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: Nobody's making a mockery of the law. California law explicitly allows a decision about whether or not cannabis should be used based on whether it's effective, and it turns out to be effective for a very wide range of medical and wellness conditions. California law requires the doctor and patient agree that this is something that would be beneficial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you take a look at the parade of pharmaceutical drugs offered to us every night with a range of side effects that comes out of something like a Stephen King novel, for things like insomnia and depression and anxiety and affective disorder and upset stomach and inability to digest and erectile dysfunction, all of which cannabis is more effective on and has fewer side effects than, I think there's a very strong case to be made that cannabis should not be considered a last line of defense for people who are terminally ill but rather the first, safest and most natural alternative to be looked to rather than pharmaceuticals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California we have a mechanism to address medical cannabis recommendations that have been written inappropriately. That mechanism is the Medical Board of California, which disciplines and examines doctors who are accused of wrongdoing. People who think recommendations are being written inappropriately should take their case there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's impossible for the staff of any dispensary to properly evaluate whether patients are truly ill who walk in with a recommendation. There are a great number of patients who are seriously ill who don't bear any physical signs of their illness. I don’t' think we have the ability to make that call, I don't think a cop sitting outside of a dispensary has the ability to make that call, and I don’t think a prosecutor watching \"Weed Wars\" has the ability to make that call.

In the interview, she emphasized proximity to schools and children:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>One of my concerns about dispensaries that are in proximity to schools and parks and playgrounds is the possibility they could be the target of violence or armed robbery. People in the community may be supportive of the dispensary being in their community until there's a robbery and people come running out of the dispensary shooting guns...When a dispensary comes to my attention that is close to a school, a park, a playground or children, that's a line I've decided to draw.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The complaint against Harborside's landlords, however, have moved that line. Harborside is not near any facility that children may frequent, and Haag, in a statement, offered a new reason for going after a medical marijuana provider:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>This office has used its limited resources to address those marijuana dispensaries that operate close to schools, parks and playgrounds. As I have said in the past, this is a non-exclusive list of factors relevant to whether we should commence civil forfeiture actions against marijuana properties, and circumstances may require us to address other situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I now find the need to consider actions regarding marijuana superstores such as Harborside. The larger the operation, the greater the likelihood that there will be abuse of the state’s medical marijuana laws, and marijuana in the hands of individuals who do not have a demonstrated medical need.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>While it may seem that Haag is changing the rules in the middle of the game, it is true that she left the door open for more expansive enforcement in her interview with Montgomery:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I can't promise going forward that it won't change.

DeAngelo characterized the federal crackdown on medical marijuana as \"death by a thousand cuts,\" contending that U.S. Attorney Haag will continue to expand the criteria for taking action against marijuana facilities that are legal in the state of California -- but not under federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: How do you see the action against Harborside?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>HARBORSIDE'S STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: The Justice Department issued a statement that said we'd been targeted because of an abstract principle that larger dispensaries tend to result in more people inappropriately receiving cannabis. I don't think that's a valid principle, but even if it were, to target an organization like Harborside that has an exemplary record of legal compliance simply because of a general principle that may or not apply to other people in the industry is really an egregious abuse of prosecutorial discretion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: What are Harborside's plans for the future?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/oakland-tribune/ci_21064582/customers-flock-marked-pot-dispensary\">We are open\u003c/a> and we have no intention of closing our doors voluntarily. We made a commitment to our patients six years ago to provide them with a safe place to get cannabis medicines and we're going to do that unless it becomes impossible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime I think the Justice Dept has grievously overreached; I think the amount of support both from public and elected officials demonstrates that. We intend to engage the Justice Dept. by every legal means.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Have you talked to your landlords, who are the target of these actions?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: The landlords at this point are evaluating the legal position they find themselves in. They are in legal communication with our counsel. At this point it's too early to say how it will unfold. We're confident we have not violated any of the provisions of our lease. I really feel for the property owners who, believing the Obama Justice Dept that they were not going to target organizations that were in compliance with state law and seeing we were licensed by the city of Oakland and in good standing, then leased us this property. Property owners are in a terrible position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: When U.S. Attorney Haag laid out the proposition that facilities near children would be her primary target, she also said she wasn't promising that she wouldn't expand those criteria. Comments?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: This is one in a series of lies. When the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/10/07/california-u-s-attorneys-issue-statement-on-targeting-marijuana-industry/\">U.S. attorneys announced their campaigns last October\u003c/a> they said they were going to go after profiteers and criminals who were using the medical cannabis law as a shield for those activities. In fact if you take a look at who they have targeted it reads like an honor role of the most legitimate and compliant operators in the medical cannabis industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So first it was supposed to be profiteers and criminals, then she started targeting organizations with the highest integrity like the Marin Alliance for Medical Marijuana and Berkeley Patients Group and Divinity Tree and Vapor Room because they were supposedly too close to children. In San Francisco the park in the Tenderloin that one marijuana facility was close to had more crack vials and syringes than children playing in it and was directly cross the street from a strip club, a liquor store and an outdoor drug market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now she's saying it doesn't matter if you're not too close to a school if you're too large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So after she rolls up all of the large dispensaries, she's then going to find another category of dispensary to go after. Clearly this is a strategy of death by a thousand cuts and one misrepresentation is going to be followed by another until the public stands up and demands it stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Melinda Haag also said this in her interview with Michael Montgomery: \"Marijuana dispensaries are full of cash and are very public about them. Some of them go on television…\" Do you think doing \"Weed Wars\" maybe wasn't the best idea?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: We created Harborside intentionally as a model to demonstrate that medicine could be distributed in a way that brings benefits to communities not harm. We have an obligation to the patients that are in places that don't have access. It was always our belief that if all the world could see what we were doing at Harborside and see how we handled this medicine then they would support what we were doing. And that's true. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do I regret doing \"Weed Wars\"? Absolutely not. After it aired we had a flood of senior citizens coming in, veterans, people from states where they don’t have access to medical cannabis. We had dozens and dozens of parents of gravely ill children coming to us because of what they saw. We were able to greatly expand the reach of patients we were providing for, and we were able to provide a positive example of cannabis distribution for the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I would say, however, that I think there's a connection between my outspoken views and Harborside being targeted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: I personally know several people who have prescriptions for medical marijuana who are not really sick or have minor ailments. They have found it very easy to go to a doctor and get a prescription. What do you say to the argument that there are healthy people who are getting prescriptions and making a mockery of the law?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELO\u003c/strong>: Nobody's making a mockery of the law. California law explicitly allows a decision about whether or not cannabis should be used based on whether it's effective, and it turns out to be effective for a very wide range of medical and wellness conditions. California law requires the doctor and patient agree that this is something that would be beneficial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you take a look at the parade of pharmaceutical drugs offered to us every night with a range of side effects that comes out of something like a Stephen King novel, for things like insomnia and depression and anxiety and affective disorder and upset stomach and inability to digest and erectile dysfunction, all of which cannabis is more effective on and has fewer side effects than, I think there's a very strong case to be made that cannabis should not be considered a last line of defense for people who are terminally ill but rather the first, safest and most natural alternative to be looked to rather than pharmaceuticals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California we have a mechanism to address medical cannabis recommendations that have been written inappropriately. That mechanism is the Medical Board of California, which disciplines and examines doctors who are accused of wrongdoing. People who think recommendations are being written inappropriately should take their case there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's impossible for the staff of any dispensary to properly evaluate whether patients are truly ill who walk in with a recommendation. There are a great number of patients who are seriously ill who don't bear any physical signs of their illness. I don’t' think we have the ability to make that call, I don't think a cop sitting outside of a dispensary has the ability to make that call, and I don’t think a prosecutor watching \"Weed Wars\" has the ability to make that call. Only a well-trained doctor with access to all of the medical records can make a decision as to whether a recommendation is in compliance with that law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>JON BROOKS\u003c/strong>: Do you think the state bears any responsibility for this crackdown by virtue of not clarifying more specifically what is legal and what is not?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEVE DEANGELIS\u003c/strong>: Following the federal government, the major degree of responsibility falls on the California Assembly, which was requested by when Prop 215 was passed to set up a system of regulated distribution of medical cannabis.

But its Citizen Review Board, which was formed in 2010 for police oversight, and its independent police auditor, have been criticized for inaction – and did not undertake their own investigation of the Hill shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday morning, during a sparsely attended review board meeting, Mark Smith, the independent police auditor hired shortly before Hill was killed, announced that the agency's investigation into the “officer-involved shooting” had been closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith and the board discussed the shooting while referring to a brief write-up of the internal investigation, which concluded that “Police Officer #1” was exonerated after a 353-day probe into use of force. Board member Peter Barnett asked Smith if the exoneration was in reference to the Hill shooting. Smith said it was. A person familiar with the investigation also confirmed to The Bay Citizen that Crowell was cleared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following yesterday's meeting, Smith and BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey declined to comment on the case, saying it was a personnel matter. An attorney representing Crowell, Dale Allen, also declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years before Hill was killed, a BART police officer shot and killed an unarmed black man, Oscar Grant, on the platform at the Fruitvale station. In the wake of Grant's death and the protests that followed, BART vowed to take steps to prevent such shootings, agreeing to 127 policy changes recommended by an independent auditor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->The transit agency had completed 27 of those reforms at the time of the Hill shooting. The two officers involved had not had crisis intervention training and only one had a Taser, even though an audit following the Grant shooting recommended Tasers and training for all officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the year since the Hill shooting, the department has made progress toward meeting those reforms, completing 85 of the reforms by the end of June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART has introduced zoned policing so that officers can get to know the people on their beats. In June, the department hired a crisis intervention consultant, Armando Sandoval, to train officers and help direct mentally ill people who frequent BART stations to services. By the end of the year, about 100 officers will be trained in crisis intervention techniques.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Crowell, who was responding to a call about a \"wobbly drunk,\" shot and killed Charles Hill, a 45-year-old transient, on July 3, 2011. BART security camera video showed Crowell opening fire 25 seconds after arriving on the platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the shooting, Crowell left BART to work for the FBI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_69882\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/07/charleshillshooting-300x225.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-69882\" title=\"charleshillshooting-300x225\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/07/charleshillshooting-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from surveillance video released by BART of the July 3, 2011 incident.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since the shooting, BART has made strides toward implementing long-delayed reforms. But its Citizen Review Board, which was formed in 2010 for police oversight, and its independent police auditor, have been criticized for inaction – and did not undertake their own investigation of the Hill shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday morning, during a sparsely attended review board meeting, Mark Smith, the independent police auditor hired shortly before Hill was killed, announced that the agency's investigation into the “officer-involved shooting” had been closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Board member Peter Barnett asked Smith if the exoneration was in reference to the Hill shooting. Smith said it was. A person familiar with the investigation also confirmed to The Bay Citizen that Crowell was cleared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following yesterday's meeting, Smith and BART Police Chief Kenton Rainey declined to comment on the case, saying it was a personnel matter. An attorney representing Crowell, Dale Allen, also declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years before Hill was killed, a BART police officer shot and killed an unarmed black man, Oscar Grant, on the platform at the Fruitvale station. In the wake of Grant's death and the protests that followed, BART vowed to take steps to prevent such shootings, agreeing to 127 policy changes recommended by an independent auditor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->The transit agency had completed 27 of those reforms at the time of the Hill shooting. The two officers involved had not had crisis intervention training and only one had a Taser, even though an audit following the Grant shooting recommended Tasers and training for all officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the year since the Hill shooting, the department has made progress toward meeting those reforms, completing 85 of the reforms by the end of June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART has introduced zoned policing so that officers can get to know the people on their beats. In June, the department hired a crisis intervention consultant, Armando Sandoval, to train officers and help direct mentally ill people who frequent BART stations to services. By the end of the year, about 100 officers will be trained in crisis intervention techniques.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

If the system contemplated us just sitting here and mechanically applying the rules to the facts do it, then they’d have the judge do it, or they’d have a panel of lawyers do it.” This was a specific case in which you had a human being testifying on the stand who had suffered obvious long-lasting, perhaps irrevocable harm from this very real experience.

It does not mean and it should not mean that there is now free reign for everybody who feels abused to take the law into their own hands. They are going to be in a lot of trouble if they do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EVAN LEE: What happened here is arguably a case of jury nullification. Jury nullification is a term that refers to juries coming back with a verdict that they know is not in line with a judge’s instructions, but they feel that something about the prosecution is so enormously unjust that they feel compelled to come back with a different verdict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAURIE LEVENSON: The problem with jury nullification is that the jurors are basically standing in and saying, \"We know better than the law.\" If this were to happen in every case, why bother having a law at all?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EVAN LEE: A lot of people believe it’s an important safeguard against the discretion of prosecutors to go after anybody they feel like going after. On the other hand a lot of people say that’s what happened in the first OJ [Simpson] trial and there are a lot of people who feel upset about this. A lot of people feel he didn’t get his just deserts. The harder question is whether this is going to change the behavior of future judges, future prosecutors, future witnesses. That’s really hard to say here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LAURIE LEVENSON: I think it’s likely to affect whether prosecutors bring similar cases, and if they do, how hard they know they have to fight for the win. This is a real message to prosecutors, that \"Yes, this fellow engaged in battery, but we were not willing to convict.\" When prosecutors have limited resources, they will have to take that into consideration in their next charging decision. Judges may be sensitive to the idea that there might be jury nullification and decide to emphasize to the jurors they have to follow the law. The biggest concern that other victims will say, “I’ll take just ice in my own hands I’ll be a vigilante and nothing is going to happen to me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>EVAN LEE: Going and confronting the person that abused you many, many years ago is a highly personal matter.

Lynch admitted to punching Lindner, who was 65 at the time, several times in the 2010 incident. His defense -- the attack was triggered by Lindner leering at him when Lynch confronted him with confession papers. Lindner has never acknowledged abusing Lynch, but in 1998 Lynch received a $625,000 settlement from the Jesuits after making that allegation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from acquitting Lynch on the felony charges, the jury deadlocked on a charge of misdemeanor assault, voting 8-4 to convict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript of today's interview...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: How are you feeling now that this is over?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WILLIAM LYNCH\u003c/strong>: I'm relieved. It was unexpected. I didn't think I was going to walk out of here with the jury making this decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm also really pleased. The decision is reflecting the consciousness of the country right now around this issue, and I think people are starting to speak and say we're not going to accept this anymore, and if there's no law in place to do what's right, we're going to do what's right.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I didn't think I was going to walk out of here with the jury making this decision.\u003cbr>\n--William Lynch\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: How has the trial affected your recovery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WILLIAM LYNCH\u003c/strong>: It's affected it greatly and not just the trial but this entire process. I believe that it was wrong for me to do what I did ultimately, because I'm perpetuating the cycle of sexual abuse, and it's the cycle I've lived in that I'm trying to break. And I encourage people not to do what I did the way I did it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one thing that's going to result out of all of this is finding my voice and becoming empowered and finding a way to kind of take control of my life. I wasn't attached to the verdict in the sense that no matter what they'd decided that wasn't something they were ever going to be able to take a way from me. I can finally start to see how I can live with some peace and some freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: Do you see yourself remaining active in fighting sexual abuse?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WILLIAM LYNCH\u003c/strong>: Absolutely. I think there's a great opportunity here. I am where I am in this process.

Lynch admitted to punching Lindner, who was 65 at the time, several times in the 2010 incident. His defense -- the attack was triggered by Lindner leering at him when Lynch confronted him with confession papers. Lindner has never acknowledged abusing Lynch, but in 1998 Lynch received a $625,000 settlement from the Jesuits after making that allegation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from acquitting Lynch on the felony charges, the jury deadlocked on a charge of misdemeanor assault, voting 8-4 to convict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edited transcript of today's interview...\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: How are you feeling now that this is over?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WILLIAM LYNCH\u003c/strong>: I'm relieved. It was unexpected. I didn't think I was going to walk out of here with the jury making this decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm also really pleased. The decision is reflecting the consciousness of the country right now around this issue, and I think people are starting to speak and say we're not going to accept this anymore, and if there's no law in place to do what's right, we're going to do what's right.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I didn't think I was going to walk out of here with the jury making this decision.\u003cbr>\n--William Lynch\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>STEPHANIE MARTIN\u003c/strong>: How has the trial affected your recovery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>WILLIAM LYNCH\u003c/strong>: It's affected it greatly and not just the trial but this entire process.

And I encourage people not to do what I did the way I did it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one thing that's going to result out of all of this is finding my voice and becoming empowered and finding a way to kind of take control of my life. I wasn't attached to the verdict in the sense that no matter what they'd decided that wasn't something they were ever going to be able to take a way from me.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
