How to Fix the ‘Systemic Problem’ of Prosecutorial Misconduct in California | Criminal Justice | Change.org
Between 1997 and 2009, California judges explicitly found that state prosecutors engaged in misconduct during criminal trials more than 700 times, from intimidating witnesses to witholding evidence that would exonerate the defendant, actions that led not only to innocent people being locked behind bars for years, but to actual criminals being set free. And don't expect that sort of behavior to stop anytime soon. Only six were ever disciplined for their misconduct by the California State Bar over that period, and none will ever need to pay restitution to their victims: California prosecutors enjoy absolute immunity from civil liability for their conduct in court.
