Menendez: ‘I Want to Thank the Jury, 12 New Jerseyans Who Saw Through the Government’s False Claims’

MENENDEZ: "I want to thank the Melvin family for their constant friendship and their faith in our innocence. And I wish my dear friend Sal success in his continuing search for justice. I want to thank my defense team, as well as Dr. Melgen’s attorneys, Abby Lowell, the nation’s premier defense attorney who methodically tore apart the government’s case, his partner, Jenny Kramer, a former prosecutor turned advocate for justice. Ray Brown, whose insights were invaluable and his associates, Gregg Hilzer and Justin Kolbenschlag, who gave their total commitment to our cause. And to Dr. Melgen's defense team for their invaluable roles. I want to thank the jury, 12 New Jerseyans who saw through the government’s false claims and used their Jersey common sense to reject it. I appreciate their service. I appreciate their sacrifice and their time away from their family and their professions."
