“The Power of the Prosecutor in America: Abuse, Misconduct, Unaccountability, and Miscarriages of Justice"
"[T]he modern American prosecutor – that is, the “imperial prosecutor,” as some observers refer to it – and how that power is regularly abused, resulting in miscarriages of justice by the thousands. The integrity of our criminal justice system rests largely on the shoulders of the most powerful players within the system, viz., state and federal prosecutors. Chillingly, an alarming number of them have seemingly made the conscious decision to cast aside their moral and ethical obligations as members of the criminal justice system who are duty-bound to uphold the law as simply meaningless as they instead embrace a win-at-any-cost ethos.” – Casey J. Bastian,
Pray God do a work in the hearts of the "powerful players".
