This is what happens when a prosecutor gets caught obstructing justice or defying a court: one day in jail and disbarment from practice. Not enough!

In reply to David V C. I’ve come to the conclusion that anyone who goes to law school to become a prosecutor steps into the college classroom and the first thing the professor says is: “If they’ve been arrested, they’re guilty. Period.” And the idiots who take such criminal justice classes buy into that bullshit. To be a prosecutor means you have to be inhuman.

In reply to DavidM. Also, the problem is that prosecutors don't want you released and at times refuse to allow exculpatory evidence on the prisoners behalf for fear that they have wrongfully incarcerated someone. How a prosecutor can refuse or even throw out exculpatory evidence in a case is beyond my understanding of the legal system and how they can allow that. If a prosecutor withholds evidence, they should be fired and charged with obstruction of justice.

I find it interesting that one if the FBIs own workers was found to be corrupt in 96 percent of his cases. This should be a much bigger story. Just imagine how many other poor souls were affected by his tainted evidence. And for each crime that sent the wrong person to prison means the real culprit was roaming the country side unimpeded from more crimes.

Good article
Interesting that Missouri is willing to compensate victims exonerated using DNA. This is only used to convict a very small percentage . When it is used it’s pretty conclusive. Most are incarcerated not on DNA or any physical evidence so for them you’re just screwed. Good example of politicians passing laws that do nothing but sound good.
