DA Quinn issues response to Harden family statement

Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn has issued a statement in response to the statement made by Anthony Harden’s family.

“The death of Anthony Harden is a tragedy for his family and all involved. I continue to express my sympathies to the family. As previously stated, this was a thorough investigation conducted by senior prosecutors of the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office. The determination that the shooting death of Anthony Harden was justified was made without any influence from the Fall River Police Department. The Fall River PD is not a client of my office. In fact, we have and will continue to prosecute police officers when warranted by the evidence. Our role in this matter was to determine whether a crime was committed. In this case, there is no evidence of a crime.”
