No consequences for prosecutorial misconduct


From NBC New York:

The investigative journalists at ProPublica conducted a review of 30 cases where convictions were tossed out and a state or federal court found evidence a defendant's rights were violated.

Out of those 30 cases, only one prosecutor was seriously disciplined. In one, a prosecutor accused of misconduct was promoted after his conviction was thrown out.
