And you're right - prosecutors don't give a D@MN about your guilt or innocence. It's all about their record of convictions, designed to get them to the next step on the political ladder.

As much as I think that is a problem, I do think that there are other good prosecutors that do not behave that way. I just think there are TOO MANY many who do behave as you say. THAT - the TOO MANY - is the problem.
There is likely too many because those above the prosecutors are the ones pushing for convictions, and so the prosecutors have less incentive, from above, for seeking justice as opposed to convictions. The prosecutors get little reward and little thanks for not pursuing a wrongful conviction.
...it's just another government program gone wrong.
That's the only reasonable position for conservatives to hold.
