Another hundred people is an amazing song. I’d be jealous I don’t sing that one but Marta is a terrible person.

Career prosecutor and criminal judge in this Strzok hearing is conflating juror bias with investigator/prosecutor bias. As if most cops or prosecutors don’t assume the subject or defendant is guilty.

Look Sir Droids posted:Career prosecutor and criminal judge in this Strzok hearing is conflating juror bias with investigator/prosecutor bias. As if most cops or prosecutors don’t assume the subject or defendant is guilty. *facepalm* If you aren’t convinced (especially given your access to all the evidence that can’t or won’t come in at trial) that the defendant is guilty... maybe don’t arrest or prosecute? Idk. Just a thought. Seriously though. If I can’t get myself beyond reasonable doubt, why the gently caress would I ask it of a jury. “Hey guys. I dunno if this guy is guilty. But convict him anyway” said no ethical prosecutor ever. Used to see that in the navy where commanding officers would throw sexual assault cases that were obvious bullshit to an article 32 hearing (think HPC) so that when congress came screaming about how they were soft on sex assault they could say “hey! *I* sent it to a 32. Not my fault the 32 officer found no reasonable basis to go forward.” Meanwhile the defendant gets to stress out worrying/have his reputation damaged/career put on hold while the politics play out. Luckily the command I advised was a bunch of spec war guys who had the balls to just say “there was no evidence. Piss off.”

I had a prosecutor basically admit that he thought it was possible my client was innocent. He got a guilty because my client had to testify and my clients terrible felony record came in. Fuuuuck you. I've also had multiple prosecutors say "I guess that was the right result" after NGs. Then why did we just go to all this trouble? Oh because they were baby DAs and being pressured to take anything to trial. Oh and we were actively and officially discouraged from reporting prosecutors to the bar.

The argument seems to be that there wouldn’t be an investigation or it wouldn’t have started so soon if they didn’t think Trump was shady as gently caress. Like Al Capone was just a random audit. But public defenders everywhere can rejoice at the impending 5-4 ruling that cops can no longer investigate people they don’t like.

nm posted:I had a prosecutor basically admit that he thought it was possible my client was innocent. Ah, but was it a reasonable doubt or greater possibility of innocence or, more technically, was there sufficient evidence to sustain a conviction? quote:I've also had multiple prosecutors say "I guess that was the right result" after NGs. Then why did we just go to all this trouble? Oh because they were baby DAs and being pressured to take anything to trial.  No you see the fact finder always arrives at the right result so they were really just observing we live in the greatest of possible legal worlds.But seriously, these do not sound like they would be actionable bar complaints without more. You’re at the difference between legal ethics and ethical ethics.

Maybe not, but the found on the record Brady violation the judge found on the record (and didn't report despite being the only mandatory reporter in the room because California doesn't force lawyers to snitch) would have been.

Ugh. The more you talk about CA the more I go wtf? Stop making us look bad west coast. Closest I’ve ever had to that sentiment is “well poo poo. Shame the jury couldn’t hear about the 3 other people he stabbed. And sucks the one person willing to testify was a DEA snitch with a record. But hey. Burden’s on us. That’s the system. Better ten guilty walk and all that.”

And yup. Therein lies the problem. We already have an adversarial system. Sure. But with an elected official their whole job begins with “beating” someone else in an election. Once you start seeing your job as “beating your opponent” it makes it a lot easier to start embracing ends justify the means approaches that can quickly become fast and loose approaches to ethics. It becomes less about facilitating justice and more about “winning” which is the wrong attitude. Prosecutors job is to either work out a disposition that’s fair (especially if the defendant has rehabilitative potential...we give a lot of alternative resolution and diversionary programs. A first time non-violent will very rarely see jail) or get all the admissible evidence in front of the jury in a way that makes sense/protect the record for appellate review. I’ve said this before. But keep politicians the gently caress out of my courtroom.
