Mac, you have had more than your share of bad experiences with law enforcement and that is a tragedy. My comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Certainly there are at least as many evil people in the ranks of prosecutors as in any other occupation or profession. I have had to prosecute other prosecutors, police officers and even a judge in my career. In each of those cases I argued for, and usually obtained, a stiffer penalty because of their profession and the inherent breach of trust involved.<br><br> The position of prosecutor, however, is unique in the legal system. A prosecutors only responsibility is to do justice. A defense attorney, on the other hand, must represent his/her client to the best of their ability, even if the upshot is to thwart justice. That is the source of my "truth and justice" remark. As you point out, this assumes an honest and fair prosecutor. I assume that someone must have prosecuted the DA you describe. Thast is the magic of the system isn't it? Ultimately no one is above the law.
