The prosecutor should really be disbarred. The local bar should be quite embarrassed to have such a high ranking member with no regard for ethics. At this point, Denise Lundsford has gravely undermined public confidence in the legal system.
I hope that Mr. Weiner sues that state for compensation for his house, savings, emotional injury, and anything else his attorney can pile on.
- wl 11y agoThe prosecutor and the state rightfully should pay for this injustice. Unfortunately, prosecutors have absolute immunity for tortuous conduct committed in the course of their job. And for weird historical reasons, governments have sovereign immunity and can't be sued in their own courts unless they waive that immunity.
- hrehhf 11y ago> undermined public confidence in the legal system. The real point is that, by and large, most people simply do not care. It is completely irrevelant, or they believe absurd things like a defendant surely did something wrong otherwise the case would not be at trial. Others have mentioned that prosecutors have immunity from civil suits; I would say that could be changed by the legislature explicitly making prosecutors liable. Short of that, prosecutors would need to be stopped by force in order to effect a just system.
