Other than protest, what might get the attention of the powers that be that such prosecutorial overreaching is unacceptable?
They have no impetus to change until there's enough anger to make them afraid.
- brudgers 14y agoProsecutorial over-reach is a byproduct of the particular structure of our adversarial system and current views on the role of our legal system. This was not one rogue individual, it was the execution of an institutional mindset that has given us the highest incarceration rate in the world. Pinning all that on one person allows something to be done without causing change.
