  • Quotes

    • "The defense is simply the fact that, first of all, (Hrozek) didn't do it. She has always said, I did not have oral sex with a student. She did obviously have some very poor judgment on her part, with regard to conduct with this student."—Katherine Scardino, Hrozek's defense attorney, during closing argumentsABC: Jury Claims Deadlock (February 9, 2009)
