    These prosecutors do not care if an innocent man languishes in prison. -- -Mona-

    As in any profession there are always some "good guys" and I believe that you were one of them once.

    A lawyer once told me while I was preparing an essay that many lawyers start out in the prosecutor's office because you have to work some damn place once you graduate law school. The evil men stay. (according to him)

    I read the blogs on proprietorial wrongdoing as much as I read Glenn. Wait, seems I read a lot of lawyers!

    Anyway, my main point is that we need to stop trying to fix all the evils of the world and work on the evils here domestically first. And, it would do no harm in starting with the flawed "justice" system.
