I believe you nailed the true root cause. District attorneys have the power to choose who to charge and to what degree. It is not a DA's responsibility to weigh what is for the good of society, they need only to be concerned with conviction rates. Does that seem like the foundation for justice?
- jrockway 12y agoI think you've nailed the true root cause. There isn't someone elected to be on the other side of the DA, like a public defender's office whose goal it is to get accused criminals exonerated. If one political party wants both seats, they'll both have to make each other's job hard.
