"The crime of obstruction of justice, in United States jurisdictions, refers to the crime of interfering with the work of police, investigators, regulatory agencies, prosecutors, or other (usually government) officials. Common law jurisdictions other than the United States tend to use the wider offense of perverting the course of justice."(1) Fortunately (heh), we've carefully defined obstruction of justice in the USA so that it doesn't seem to apply to prosecutors who stare right at exculpatory evidence and then try to hide it to pervert justice anyway. I'm inclined to stop calling them "prosecutors" and take the advice of my spellcheck when I mistyped it and call them "persecutors".
