Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Franken is Positive . (Reuters) -  U.S. Senator Al Franken   trying to salvage  his  political career  said on Sunday  he  does not plan to resign but called  himself  âembarrassed and ashamedâ by  his  behavior toward women who have accused  him  of groping or inappropriately touching them.

 Franken   a Democrat and former comedian who has represented Minnesota in the Senate since 2009  said in a round of media interviews -- his first since the allegations surfaced on Nov. 16 -- that he looked forward to returning to his job on Monday.
âIâm embarrassed and ashamed. Iâve let a lot of people down and Iâm hoping I can make it up to them and gradually regain their trust â  Franken  told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
 Franken  resisted comparisons between  his  behavior and that of Roy Moore  the Republican nominee for a U.S. Senate seat from Alabama who has been accused of improper conduct involving teenage girls decades ago.
âIâm going to take responsibility. Iâm going to be held accountable through the ethics committee â said  Franken   whose behavior is being investigated by the Senate ethics panel. âAnd Iâm going to hopefully be a voice in this that is helpful. ... Again  I respect women. What kills me about this is it gives people a reason to believe I donât respect women.â
When asked if he had considered resigning   Franken  said: âNo  no. The ethics committee is looking into this and I will cooperate fully with it.â
Pressed about stepping aside and allowing a woman to take his seat   Franken  told Minnesota Public Radio  âIâm committed to working as hard as I can here in the Senate for the people of Minnesota.â
 Franken  was first accused of sexual misconduct by radio broadcaster Leann Tweeden.  She  said  Franken  had forcibly kissed  her  during a 2006 USO war zone tour  and a photo showed him with his hands over  her  chest while  she  was sleeping.
Four days later  a woman named Lindsay Menz told CNN that  Franken  had touched  her  buttocks while the two were being photographed in 2010 at the Minnesota State Fair.
 Franken  has apologized to Tweeden  and has said  he  does not remember the incident with Menz. Last week  two other women told the Huffington Post Franken had touched their buttocks in separate incidents. The article did not provide the names of those two accusers.
âI donât remember these photographs  I donât â  Franken  told the Star Tribune. âThis is not something I would intentionally do.â
âI have been reflecting on this â  Franken  told Minnesota Public Radio of the allegations. âI want to be a better man.â
 Franken  is among a long list of celebrities and politicians who have been accused of sexual misconduct. The recent wave of accusations  some of them dating back for decades  began in October.

no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mike Freeman is Positive . Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman  declined to confirm the grand jury  citing the secrecy of any such proceeding  but said  he  still intends to make  his  own decision on whether to charge the officer.
Justine Ruszczyk Damond  a 40-year-old life coach  was killed by Minneapolis Officer Mohamed Noor just minutes after she called police to report a possible sexual assault in the alley behind her home. Noor hasn't been charged  and  Freeman  said weeks ago that more investigating was needed in the case. He also told activists in a recorded conversation that he didn't have enough evidence and investigators "haven't done their job."
In recent years   Freeman  has said he would no longer use grand juries to decide whether officers would be charged in police shootings  saying he would make those decisions himself to provide more accountability and transparency.
Marsh Halberg  a criminal defense attorney who is not connected to this case  said it could give  Freeman  a strategic advantage by requiring witnesses to testify under oath and lock down witness testimony in advance of a possible trial. Still  Halberg said  it's unclear whether a grand jury can be used strictly for investigative purposes on the state level  and it's not something he has seen in his 40-year career.
Halberg said  Freeman  could be using the grand jury as "a tactical reason to get evidence from people who are maybe refusing to testify."
Robert Bennett  an attorney for the Damond family  said he and the family support  Freeman 's use of the grand jury and think it's the right thing to do. Bennett said it's disappointing that subpoenas were necessary to get witnesses  including police officers  to be truthful.
Noor's attorney  Thomas Plunkett  issued a statement saying  Freeman 's comments "leave me unclear as to what he is doing." He added that "it would be unethical and potentially unlawful to comment publicly on this development. Worse â any public comment would jeopardize the fairness of an important judicial function."
The grand jury process has been criticized for its secrecy and because it rarely results in charges against officers.  Freeman  broke precedent with the standard practice of using grand juries to decide charges in police shootings after the November 2015 death of Jamar Clark.  Freeman  noted at that time that grand juries had been used to consider police shootings in  his  county for more than 40 years and no officers had been indicted.

no
