[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 1347625, member: 13624"] Good luck A) getting a legislature to pass this, and B) getting a prosecutor to charge another prosecutor, especially when the penalties are that severe. [url]http://reason.com/archives/2010/09/27/misbehaving-federal-prosecutor[/url] Of the 201 cases (a very small sampling, I might add), only 1 prosecutor was even [I]temporarily disbarred[/I], let alone criminally sanctioned. That's less than 1/2 of 1%. Do you [I]really[/I] think a prosecutor would bring a capital charge against another prosecutor, especially one who was probably in his own office? Don't get me wrong--I'd [I]love[/I] to see Gilchrest and Macy side-by-side on the gallows, but it's not likely to happen by passing a law that would have to be enforced by another prosecutor.
