Response Of Massachusetts To Defendant Powers Fasteners Statement At Arraignment

September 05, 2007 --“Over the course of the past year, the Attorney General’s Office has conducted a comprehensive investigation into last summer’s fatal tunnel ceiling collapse. That investigation is not yet complete.

Evidence has been presented to a Grand Jury, which upon carefully reviewing that evidence, found probable cause to indict Powers Fasteners, Inc., for manslaughter in connection with the death of Milena DelValle at this time. Powers is innocent until proven guilty.

The allegations will be tried in the only appropriate venue—in the courtroom. To suggest that the prosecution of Powers Fasteners is motivated by anything other than the pursuit of justice—not only for the victims, but for the Commonwealth as a whole—is inaccurate.”
