The people in prosecutor's offices are just as flawed, confused and screwy as everyone else.

I live in a county seat, just across the street from the prosecutor's office. Because of that, I guess I am a bit more attuned to things regarding that office. I have seen terrible, terrible judgment from them on a number of occasions. Especially in sex crime cases. They have lost some very significant cases, and rightly so, when they rushed to judgment in the office but it didn't hold up in court. No, they defendants did not get off on "technicalities", they got off because there really was either no case or a case so flimsy and so made up from whole cloth that no semi-reasonable person could or would have bought it. In the bargain, some lives were destroyed, including one defendant that moved away and changed his name.

That should never, ever happen.

Now, they are prosecuting a "child pornography" case that I know something about. I know details about this case. They are utterly screwing this case up. They have utterly blown the chain of evidence. The accusers are completely non-credible. I could decimate their case, on the basis of computer technology and net technology, except I am not expert-qualified. That isn't even the worst of it, however. It is very complex, and the whole thing seems to hinge on getting the defendant to cop a plea. Something he thankfully refuses to do. It is a travesty.

The lead investigator is a zealous woman who has shown very flawed judgment in the past and is known, in the legal community, for her strong and tainted agenda. My opinion is that there are issues in her past that colors her objectivity.

The defendant has a public defender. I fear he hasn't a chance.
