Up in MA the Amirault’s spent years in prison after being accused of sexual abuse in their day care center. Some of the kids said (after much coaching) they were taken up in a spaceship and raped with large knives. One of the Amiraults just got out last year or the year before. The DAs, Scott Harshberger and Martha Coakley, both went on to become Massachusetts AGs. Coakley also prosecuted the Nanny Case.
The job of DA has gigantic powers and vanishingly near zero accountability. If God were to try to design a magnet for psychopaths he could not do much better than that. Robert Hare’s “Without Conscience” is reputed to be the best general book on the nature of psychopaths and Hare, who worked for many years in the Canadian prison system, notes that the two best places to study psychopaths are prison systems and stock markets, but he obviously missed one; DA offices belong on that little list as well.
