There have been a couple recent examples in the news of the kind of unfortunate attitude those in the Innocence Movement see all to frequently from judges and prosecutors who have lost touch with the notion of putting justice over winning. In Ohio, a judge berated a jury after they acquitted a man. You can imagine what kind of message that sends to jurors in that county who are called for jury duty next month or next year. Unbelievably unprofessional conduct by a judge. And in Chicago, a former prosecutor talks about how she quit after being demoted because she did not want to press forward with what she believed was an untenable prosecution. Kudos to her for having the courage to speak publicly.

The courageous Chicago ADA (assistant district attorney) worked for Anita Alvarez, so are we surprised she suffered consequences for “doing the right thing?” Not surprised at all.
