Now you’re implicating judges and prosecutors in a conspiracy to put innocent people in prison. I’m not saying this never happens, but in this particular case that is just wild speculation unless you have some information that doesn’t appear in any of these media reports.
Your welcome to explain how so many people end up behind bars for crimes they did not commit. I’m not saying there is a conspiracy. I’m just saying the saying the incentives, in the American system, are more heavily weighted towards conviction than acquittal. Unfortunately, many prosecutors
A few observations.
1. The salaries of prosecutors are often higher than defense lawyers.
2. The prosecutor has an unlimited credit card to use in the process of attaining a conviction. A defense attorney only has the funds that an accused has access to use for his defense.
3. There is no penalty for malicious prosecution. If somebody wrongly convicted sues and wins, the funds are not coming out of the prosecutor’s pockets.
4. The best way for a prosecuting attorney to advance his career, whether it be District Attorney, judge, or politician, is to win cases. For an unethical prosecutor, he doesn’t necessarily consider whether or not the accused did it. If a person fits the evidence, he’ll do.
