I understand prosecutors have a tough job and are part of the reasons we have guilty criminals behind bars. However, I have seen prosecutors repeatedly lie, hide/withhold evidence (Brady law violations), trash the reputations of cops and detectives, ignore exculpatory evidence, - all in the hopes of getting a conviction for personal, political, and racial reasons.
Its a scoreboard to them and a win just puts them closer to their goal be it political office of a judgeship or an appointment. Justice is secondary here and else where as well i imagine. Here for certain.
