Unfortunately, this press release is necessarily incomplete. Had the case 
come to trial there would have been significant irregularities.

If anyone wishes to discuss the matter with me privately, please ask me. 
I am saddened by what has happened here and appalled at the behavior of 
some people in the East Kingdom -- not to mention some non-SCA folk who 
live entirely too close to my own parents.

David Montuori, parent of Tony Montuori
