[QUOTE="Mgarza_a, post: 2090178, member: 10976"] I am aware of how a state prosecutor is compensated. The key words are "justice" and "certain conduct". I realize there are decent prosecutors out there, but I think its optimistic to say a "few" bad apples. Prosecutors weild extreme power through the use of plea bargains. Across the nation daily people plea out of charges regardless of whether they are innocent of a crime. Prosecutors across country routinely have conviction rates above 80%. The use of Plea bargains have innocent people agreeing to be labled as felons in return for not having to take the chance on a jury trial and the prosecutor seeking maximum sentence. This is especially true in the case of someone being accused of a sex crime. Sex crimes are at the top of the list for false accusations right along with murder. In murder cases even after dna has exonerated a defendent the prosecution will refile a case or allow it to move to higher courts to maintain conviction rates or avoid the admission that a miscarriage of justice has occured. Many legal wrangling can occur to impose prosecutorial immunity. [/QUOTE]
