Angry!

Two things that make me angry:

One, prosecutorial immunity.  I mean, yes, I understand the point of protecting professional public adversaries from punishment for doing their jobs; but when we’re seriously asking "Should prosecutors be allowed to knowingly frame people for murder and get away with it?" - something’s effing broken.

And two, people

It reminds me of the debate over the "chilling effect" of prosecuting people who tortured others in G.Bay.

A CHILLING EFFECT IS VERY APPROPRIATE WHEN THE ACT IS A CRIME. That is half of the intent of imprisoning people in the first place - disincentive.

If prosecuting that or lawyers who frame defendants knowingly keeps others from behaving in a way that could be perceived as criminal, GREAT. THAT is EXACTLY what I want.

Yes, exactly. I find myself yelling at the radio, "Oh no, we wouldn't want THAT, would we?? Evil prosecutors who frame innocent people being sued, and others being afraid they'll get sued if they frame innocent people -- what's the world COMING to, right??"
