Fantastic article on prosecutorial misconduct and internet connectivity problems for the Straw Buyer...


As the title of today's post states, we're having problems with both our internet connection and the Blogger software.  Regardless, check out this fantastic article from USA Today regarding one of our favorite subjects, prosecutorial misconduct.  From the article...



Most interestingly...
In case after case during that time, judges blasted prosecutors for "flagrant" or "outrageous" misconduct. They caught some prosecutors hiding evidence, found others lying to judges and juries, and said others had broken plea bargains.

"Prosecutors think they're doing the Lord's work, and that they wear the white hat. When I was a prosecutor, I thought everything I did was right," said Jack Wolfe, a former federal prosecutor in Texas and now a defense lawyer. "So even if you got out of line, you could tell yourself that you didn't do it on purpose, or that it was for the greater good."  
Doing the Lord's work?!  PUHLEEZE!  We'll discuss this "Lord's work" next week, till then have a great weekend.

  3. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that someone isn't after you.
