According

"We
are
pleased
that
the
District
Attorney's
Office
has
very
carefully
reviewed
all
the
evidence
in
Ms.
Barton's
matter
and
has
chosen
to
file
only
misdemeanor
charges
against
her," E!

quoted
Barton's
attorney,
Anthony
Salerno,
as
saying
in
a
statement
released
by
her
publicist.
"The
D.A.'s
Office
is
to
be
commended
for
treating
this
case
the
same
as
it
would
any
other
matter,
Ms.
Barton
has
received
no
special
treatment,
and
they
have
done
the
same
diligent
review
that
they
do
in
every
case.
"As
previously
stated,
Ms.
Barton
has
taken
full
responsibility
for
any
mistakes
in
judgment
that
she
may
have
made.
We
will,
of
course,
conduct
a
full
review
of
all
evidence
received
from
the
D.A.'s
Office
before
making
any
final
decisions
on
the
resolution
of
the
legal
issues,
but
we
are
confident
that
this
matter
will
be
handled
by
both
sides
in
a
professional
and
respectful
manner,"
Salerno
added.
