Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

I want to hear what lawyers have to say about the whole situation. Almost everything I hear and see posted about this case from a legal perspective is white noise about what prosecutors/grand juries can, should, and won't do, but if the law was really so simple that the average person could declare that there was misconduct, we wouldn't have law schools.

Hi, Equine Don asked me to pop in and help give some lawyer's perspective. Happy to oblige, but rather than go through all the backlog, maybe best to just answer specific questions. Hope this helps.

What's your take on the prosecution in the case? Should he have recused himself, if only to avoid the appearance of the conflict of interest? Do you think that his decision not to do so had anything to do with, or perhaps was a result of underestimation of, the publicity the case was getting?

I've heard a lot of various accusations of prosecutorial misconduct, but none from an actual lawyers, so I'd be interested to hear your take on it.
