He said the transfer of Peralta, who facescharges of first degree murder, violates all rules, but stressed that the realreason is being hidden.
"The prosecutor knows the realreasons and under what orders and lobbying he has acted. He knows the reasonsbeing sought at this time, which isn’t concern about Peralta’s health, althoughhe and his relatives naively believe."
