Prosecutorial misconduct like that should be punished severely -- there needs to be accountability for destroying other people's lives.
Notable cunt Annie Dookhan[0] is responsible for putting up to 40,000 innocent people in jail by falsifying DNA records for the Massachusetts state AG. Over 21,000 cases have already been dropped. Her punishment? 3 years.
Most efforts to fix this are denounced as being pro-criminal or anti-cop or some tired variation on the same.
If you know of any good ways to change this system that don't involve violence, I would love to hear them and participate.
The laws already exists, we only need to start applying them consistently to all kinds of criminals.
State actors should be subject to mandatory minimum life sentences for violating the rights of the public.
I propose this as a demonstration by the system that it is willing to respond to violations of the rules by the system. Such violations are inherently more problematic.
Why not?
You are a bad cop, and you expose the government to liability. After a few such liabilities, the government makes it clear to your chief that this will affect his (or her) budget.
Your buddy officers, with their pensions threatened, confront you in the locker room.
Or perhaps your department takes out insurance, and the premiums are high and rising. Buddy officers etc. "I'm sorry Binks, but there's no money for CoL this year with this wrongful conviction thing."
I'm just speculating. If the government insists against visiting the negatives on the culprit law enforcement agency, then it's the citizens who suffer instead. But I think that the costs would eventually exert influence on the problem children.
