the prosecutor wasn’t incompetent, just evil.
Although he did fail to get re-elected or to cover his tracks, so perhaps “incompetent” is te word to use, after all.
No, he got re-elected. That was a crucial point in this story and at least one plausible explanation of this rogue prosecutor’s motives. Apparently, though, his miscarriages of justice did not start and end with the Duke case. That was also illuminating.
Guess you didn’t watch. He did get respected and couldn’t by state law be removed.
Think the day in jail was to remove his state law license.
