"A spokesman for Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson said Sunday he did not know whether any criminal charges might apply."
This is attorney-speak for "There IS nothing we can prosecute this guy for, but I can't actually say that to the stupid press who have come up here looking for a quote because the people in my constituancy might decide to hate me if I don't press charges because people are stupid that way, so hopefully I can give them this quote and the whole thing will blow over and these stupid Yankee-fan press people will leave me the fuck alone."
