There is no criminal class, but a very fine line between criminal and victim

"Just the other day, we were picking a jury. The judge had a taxi driver in the jury box, and he asked him, 'Have you ever been robbed?' And the guy said, 'Yeah.' 'Were there any weapons involved?' 'No,' the guy says, 'just a gun.' Just a gun! That tells you a lot about Brooklyn, about an almost blasŽ acceptance of violence."

New York Daily News. Senior Assistant District Attorney Rob Reuland's first book is Hollowpoint.
