Regarding the case of the attempted murder of Arnold, Dewey naturally denied ordering anyone to kill the journalist. He only stated that he was being blackmailed and had assigned the matter to his assistant to handle. To avoid alerting the journalist, the assistant had enlisted people from the prosecutor's office to secretly investigate the matter.
As for the car chase incident in Los Angeles, Dewey claimed ignorance, stating that the situation at the time was purely an attempt to apprehend a suspect, not a murder.
Dewey's assistant was also brought in for questioning, and his statement matched Dewey's exactly.
"That journalist was a blackmailer. His actions were blackmail from start to finish. I admit it was against protocol to mobilize investigators from the prosecutor's office, but there was absolutely no intention to kill him, It was just to apprehend him."
