Prosecutorial misconduct alleged in half of capital cases

There seldom are consequences for prosecutors, regardless of whether the miscarriage of justice occurred because of ineptness or misconduct.

In fact, they are often congratulated.

Since 1990, six different prosecutors who were named prosecutor of the year by the Arizona Prosecuting Attorneys Advisory Committee also were later found by appeals courts to have engaged in misconduct or inappropriate behavior during death-penalty trials, according to The Republic’s examination of court documents.

via Prosecutorial misconduct alleged in half of capital cases.

What the article points out – that misconduct is serial by select public servants – plays out nationwide.

Officers that lie on the stand are dangerous on the streets.

Prosecutors that withhold evidence will decline to prosecute persons with the potential to advance their careers.

Judges that owe their gavels to such advancements will repay favors, illicitly.

It’s the FBI’s responsibility to ensure fair trials.

But because the FBI so mishandled the admissions of their failed forensics – decades of them – the FBI needs officers that lie, prosecutors that withhold evidence and judges that are repaying favors.

It’s the Bar’s responsibility to punish prosecutorial misconduct, and I’m awaiting an explanation of why they’re not doing it:

Subject: Public corruption victim insists upon detailed explanation of ABA’s GPSLD flouting its Mission Statement

Alexander W. Purdue, Chair
American Bar Association
Government & Public Sector Lawyers Division
1050 Connecticut Ave NW, Ste 400
Washington, DC 20036

Dear Chairman Purdue,

As an endangered victim of public corruption that is directly related to decades of notorious conviction corruption, I am writing to insist upon being provided with a detailed explanation, via email, of how your Self Regulating Organization’s ignoring egregious, serial, deliberate prosecutorial and supervisory misconduct – nationwide – in any way serves your Mission Statement.

Should you have no reasonable explanation for ignoring rather than curtailing public lawyer misconduct, it will be incumbent on the IRS Oversight Board to conduct an investigation, with the end result being to retroactively cancel all Bar tax exemptions, just as I began insisting upon in January of 2011.

Please respond no later than close of the workweek on Friday. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Susan Chandler
