We are in a judicial process. There is a hearing where people are under oath, documents are privileged, the commissioner decides on costs and then this quasi-judicial hearing will maybe dictate whether there could be a criminal investigation. A criminal investigation does not normally presume guilt but in this circumstance guilt would have been determined before a criminal investigation gets under way.
