When a Prosecutor's ambition is tied to a career path that demands high win/loss records, a "tough on crime" stance and constant but misinformed public scrutiny (Nancy Grace, fetishized true-crime shows, etc, I don't mean real journalism.) you are going to get misconduct and corruption as a career advancement strategy.
