So where was the Washington Post when an out-of-control prosecutor in the Duke lacrosse case concealed DNA evidence to try to wrongfully convict white college students of raping a black woman?
Oh wait, the people had the wrong skin color in that case.
Immunity from Prosecutorial Misconduct?
I think not.
I am going to have to think about this one.
Normally I would side with the prosecutors, but there have been too many cases recently where government officials have knowingly and maliciously fabricated things.
This will not have a happy ending.
Absolute prosecutor immunity has always been one of my pet peeves. Ambitious prosecutors should not be protected from framing up the innocent based upon manufactured testimony and fabricated evidence. They should only have limited liability - the same as the police.
KNOWINGLY suppressing exculpatory evidence should subject the prosecutors to the same sentence that the “perp” received or would have received.
