We should, but part of fixing the system that allows these things to happen is penalizing "bad actors." The prosecutor hid evidence from the judge, not just the defense. In addition, a brutal murderer is still free among the populace. What if they've killed again in the interim?
- csmuk 13y agoIn this case the prosecutor's witheld evidence did result in another murder by the real perpetraitor 2 years later so your point is especially valid. The prosecutor should have that on his shoulders as well.
- girvo 13y agoA brutal murderer is in jail. He did kill in the interim, and was caught for that... pretty sad, to be honest :(
- VLM 13y ago"What if they've killed again in the interim?" That happened. The actual murderer killed another woman before he was caught. The cost to society is not just 25 years of this dudes life but add one dead woman to the list. Of course you can't prove that merely exonerating one dude would somehow have automagically resulted in the cops catching the actual killer.
