Prosecution Case
In the months following the attack Porco's attorney Terence Kindlon criticized investigators, saying they were focusing narrowly on Christopher Porco as a suspect. Shortly after the attack, Bethlehem Police detectives were dispatched to the university to inverview Porco's fraternity brothers and friends and to determine his whereabouts during the early morning hours of November 15.
In late November, 2004 outgoing Albany County District Attorney Paul Clyne convened a grand jury to hear testimony implicating Christopher Porco in the murder. Some of those who were reported to have testified in the closed-session hearing included Porco's friends from college, a University of Rochester campus safety officer, as well as a former girlfriend. The Grand jury would field more testimony, and stretch months before finally handing up an indictment against Christopher in November 2005, one year after the attacks.

Famous quotes containing the words prosecution and/or case:
“The prosecution of [Warren] Hastings, though he should escape at last, must have good effect. It will alarm the servants of the Company in India, that they may not always plunder with impunity, but that there may be a retrospect; and it will show them that even bribes of diamonds to the Crown may not secure them from prosecution.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“In the case of our main stock of well-worn predicates, I submit that the judgment of projectibility has derived from the habitual projection, rather than the habitual projection from the judgment of projectibility. The reason why only the right predicates happen so luckily to have become well entrenched is just that the well entrenched predicates have thereby become the right ones.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
