After a storm of criticism and insults on social media against his two prosecutors, District Attorney Donald Gallegos appealed for the public to stop "cussing and threatening." "Our options are to re-file the charges or take the case to the grand jury," Gallegos said in a statement. "What is important to know is that we will continue to pursue prosecution of the cases."
