@Lana I have a pithified quote from a lawyer acquaintance that goes "I quit being a prosecutor when I got tired of putting poor people into prisons." The ones who only stopped prosecuting because they got elected to a better office never hit their limit.
Putting rich people into prisons, on the other hand... if it happened more often, maybe I'd feel more generous to prosecutors.
@log @Lana Absolutely. I have an exception that proves (tests) the rule - one of my friends is a prosecutor who loves to try putting rich people in jail.
His guilty verdicts, when he manages to get them against rich folks, are constantly overturned by the state supreme court. π
This is why "electing good people" doesn't work; because you then have "good people" embedded in systems that undermine them at every turn.
