FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 15, 2013
SAN FRANCISCO/GOTHAM Edward E. Nigma, aka, The Riddler, and Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, aka, The Penguin were formally arrested today and charged with multiple counts of conspiracy and kidnapping for their all too familiar villainous ways in Gotham City, according to Melinda Haag, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California and FBI Special Agent in Charge David J. Johnson.
The unique and somewhat unprecedented indictment not only outlines the charges against The Riddler and The Penguin but it also includes a special thanks to a certain caped crusader who was pivotal in making this day a reality
-snip-
The Assistant U.S. Attorneys all want to prosecute this case, and are currently drawing straws to see who will have the honor. This will presumably be the easiest case in U.S. Attorney history thanks to Batkid, who pretty much was able to not only capture the humanity of this great city, but was also able to capture all of the Riddlers and Penguins crimes on video. The prosecution is the result of a multi-agency investigation led from a cave in a location we cannot disclose.
Please note, an indictment contains only allegations against a person and, as with all defendants, Edward E. Nigma, aka, The Riddler, and Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, aka, The Penguin must be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

I was at the City Hall key ceremony -- a total blast! The crowd was huge and seriously into the happening.

(38,613 posts)My job relocated from downtown SF to Walnut Creek, and I live a block from city hall. I was so jealous to miss it, and spent practically the entire work-day reading Batkid news. These "official" responses from the government, and the Chronicle front page, were icing on the cake. I would've been red-eyed and tear-stained had I been there in person
