Almost never you see such picky leakfest to media from a DA that undermine his own prosecution case. Is he biased and tried to undermine his own case against accused rapist and fat cat ex IMF chief?

PARIS — A lawyer for the woman who accused former International Monetary Fund director Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault said he finds Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance's motivations "incomprehensible."
Wigdor also said that the defense team's search in Europe for other women who allege they'd been victimized by Strauss-Kahn had turned up "many" people. "They'll talk at the right moment," he said. "Some of them are willing to testify."
Asked whether inconsistencies in Diallo's accounts of her earlier life and in her asylum application had compromised her credibility as a witness, Wigdor replied, "most victims have complicated pasts. If the new standard in American justice is to defend only those with a spotless past, they should come out and say it."
Wigdor warned that the civil case would continue, regardless of Vance's decision.
"If the charges are dropped, Mr. Strauss-Kahn still won't have heard the end of the Diallo case," Wigdor is quoted as saying.
