Good question.

Prosecutors are also afforded unique legal protections. They have immunity from civil liability — you can’t sue them — and it’s almost unheard of for a prosecutor to face criminal penalties for something he or she did in court, like knowingly putting a lying witness on the stand or withholding evidence that points away from a defendant’s guilt.

but, but but

They do have to follow the same professional code of conduct as other lawyers, and if they don’t — this is where the bar association or ethics panel comes in
