I was wondering yesterday, is their a LEGAL precedence for “prosecutorial extortion” is it just an ethical issue among lawyers?

I have no idea, but there should be some redress for victims.

I think it’s about abuse of a practice called prosecutorial discretion. Even with an unlimited budget and unlimited staff the government could never prosecute every crime that was committed. Thus, every time they do prosecute a crime they make a choice to prosecute this crime, and not prosecute that crime. For any reason under the sun. And government prosecutors are deemed to be the “deciders” when it comes to what gets pursued and what doesn’t. Leaves whole realms open for abuse. Sometimes, however, rogue prosecutors do go to prison as I believe that one did what persecuted the Duke Lacrosse Team (White sport).
