Stemming the rising tide of criminal cases will require innovation, but while innovating, the State's Attorney must remain focused on basic values. The State's Attorney must maintain basic standards of respect and accountability. These principles were instilled in Brian at an early age. They were reinforced through his experiences in the Marine Corps. These principles will ensure that these standards are maintained.
