Just a short post tonight; I would
like to bring your attention to this article in The Economist detailing the growth of the prosecutor’s growing
power in the court room.
"Prosecutors enjoy strong
protections against criminal sanction and private litigation. Even in egregious
cases, punishments are often little more than a slap on the wrist. Mr Stevens’s
prosecutors, for example, were suspended from their jobs for 15 to 40 days, a
penalty that was overturned on procedural grounds. Ken Anderson, a prosecutor
who hid the existence of a bloody bandana that linked someone other than the
defendant to a 1986 murder, was convicted of withholding evidence in 2013 but
spent only five days behind bars—one for every five years served by the
convicted defendant, Michael Morton."
It’s a long read, but well worth
your time.
Marisol Garay, of

D.A on 11/3. I’ll have some ideas for letters up next week, let’s make this
happen!
