“Prosecutors are among the most powerful players in the criminal justice system. They can send a defendant off to years in prison, or even to death row. Most wield this power honorably. Yet, when prosecutors don’t, they rarely pay a price, even for repeated and egregious misconduct that puts innocent people behind bars.”

“End Prosecutorial Immunity. Period. Prosecutors who willfully violate people’s rights should be held personally accountable. Prosecutorial misconduct is a reality. So is the lack of any meaningful legal recourse for its victims. Among the most important impediments to holding prosecutors accountable for abuses of their authority is the fact that ‘prosecutors are granted immunity for most kinds of misconduct.’”
