Prosecutors are Corrputed by their Possession of Absolute Power

Aricle

"fter 25 years in prison, Michael Morton is freed by a Texas court after DNA evidence exonerated him of his wife's murder. His defenders say he might never have been convicted if prosecutors had not withheld key evidence. "

"The case highlights what critics say has become a recurring problem in Texas and across the nation: prosecutors concealing evidence that could undercut their cases."

"North Carolina was among the first states to enact such legislation in 2004, requiring automatic disclosure of all nonprivileged information in the prosecution's file, after several death row inmates were exonerated, in part because of evidence prosecutors had withheld."

Yet more evidence of the true nature of the government criminal "justice" system. The incentive structure is for prosecutions, not justice. Prosecutors will take the easy way out and cheat. This happens alarmingly often.

The Innocence Project will show you many more instances where prosecutors knowingly committed innocent people to death for the benefit of their own careers. And prosecutors who have been caught red-handed illegally withholding evidence are all too often immune from being prosecuted themselves. They have built-in immunity. Talk about power!

Does it get much more evil than this?
