Prosecutors, judges, and cops who withhold evidence, phony up cases and so on should receive the same penalty the innocent suspect would have received if found guilty.

There was a DA in Williamson County, Texas that did not disclose that there was a bloody bandana at a crime scene and then for years fought against DNA testing of the bloody bandana.
The victim’s husband was convicted of the murder and spend 25 years in prison.
Meanwhile the real killer walked the streets, murdered again, all the while an innocent man sat in prison. primarily due to the fact that the DA withheld evidence.
The DA was convicted of “criminal contempt” and spent 10 days in jail.
Agreed. And civil forfeiture needs to end. They can take your stuff only if you are convicted. No more of this “United States of America vs $5,234.87 and 3 pairs of pink socks” crap.
