[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Re: [progressive] The DA stole his life, justices took his money

 

For whatever reason, the office of prosecutor is a great springboard for higher political office, and many people go into it with that in mind.  Winning high profile cases is a great way to get some publicity for those future runs, and capital cases, and child abuse cases are the best for this.

You don't want to take on a case you are likely to lose, and rich people (OJ, Dominique Strauss Kahn) can mount better defenses, so you take them on at your own peril. Much better to throw the book at poor people, and so that's what they do.  It's difficult to know how many innocent people have been sent to jail to satisfy the political ambitions of these unscrupulous people.

Janet Reno and Scott Harshbarger are a couple of examples I can think of off the top of my head with successful careers built on the persecution of people for crimes they didn't commit - crimes that didn't even happen. Both of these people are Democrats, but party affiliation isn't a factor - ruthless, relentless ambition is the real issue.

And of course it would be better if things weren't this way, but its hard to see how it will change.  Politicians and judges who climbed in just this way won't change it - and as long as the population in general act like sheep and accept the scapegoating of their fellow citizens, in fact, they love it, an accusation is as good as a conviction to get the crowd to turn on one of their own, and peck them to death in the court of public opinion.  Child abuse is an even more effective charge than murder to set this process in motion. Nothing beats the appeal of a public hanging - or in our modern age, and electronic lynching. Ironic that Thomas claimed that's what happened to him - now here he is writing a decision that protects the practice.

Or a prosecutor can go after organized crime, maybe get themselves murdered, or go after corporate crime, like Eliott Spitzer.  Its an easy choice if mostly what you are interested in is getting ahead.

Prosecutors are not responsible to train their staff that they MUST turn over evidence that is favorable to the defendant?

Huh? This explains the great many cases where we have heard time and again that the prosecutors knowingly prosecuted innocent people.

Let's look at this from a different angle.

Those Prosecutes are there to represent the best interests of We the People? Or are they there to use any person who cannot defend themselves from monsters, to be ale to climb the so called ladder of the Justice system so they can make more money AND ENRICHEN the Prison system?

There job is NOT to get the actually Guilty? Just to get convictions?

The 'letter of the law' is an aberration to the purpose of the law, then only they who control the letters of the law need no fear the law, as this is solid proof, That Justice Thomas and his fellow DO NOT work for We The People.

These are the people, who are suppose to evenly and fairly apply the laws to EVERYONE, and this is a shining example of how dangerous the legal system could be to you.

Something needs to be done to return our Nation to it's purpose, not the letter of documents whose PURPOSE is suppose to be to ensure the PURPOSE of our Highest laws, are carried out. We now have a whole criminal system that no one lawyer or judge can understand all of it, because it no longer is designed to protect the citizens of the nation and it definitely is not there to uphold the purpose of our Constitution.

The people for this job, are you and I, as those who are suppose to represent us, are showing in bold face, we are not those being represented and worked for.

The D.A. Stole His Life, Justices Took His Money www.nytimes.com A Supreme Court's ruling has made it even more likely that innocent people will be railroaded by untrained prosecutors.

One month before John Thompson's scheduled execution, a private investigator discovered that prosecutors had hidden evidence that exonerated him.

Justice Clarence Thomas, writing for the 5-to-4 majority in Connick v. Thompson, said the D.A.'s office was not liable for failing to train its lawyers about their duty under the Constitution to turn over evidence favorable to the accused.

The lawyers had kept secret more than a dozen pieces of favorable evidence over 15 years, destroying some.

"Unless we embrace 'TRUTH' and recognize 'EVIL', we will find NO Resolutions to 'PEACE".......
