The Stanislaus County district attorney has fired off a letter to San Francisco demanding that its chief homicide prosecutor cease doing television commentary on the Scott Peterson trial.

Assistant District Attorney Jim Hammer, ... told producers at Fox's "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" and KTVU's Channel 2 that he could no longer talk about the case.

Hammer is one of the growing number of lawyers who have found a second job doing the legal talk-show circuit. But James Brazelton, Stanislaus County's top prosecutor, doesn't think it's appropriate for another prosecutor -- even if he is from a different jurisdiction -- to discuss the Modesto case, according to the letter sent to the district attorney's office in San Francisco last week.

That was quite the article. I liked Jim Hammer's commentary. I think the Defense type Attorney's need to be balanced out by some Prosecutors. Looks like if they are still working as a Prosecutor then they are expected to not analyze evidence on another Prosecutor's case as the article said.

I think they're right to complain. I don't think an active prosecutor should be out there playing TV lawyer, talking about cases which are ongoing.
