What’s appropriate punishment for a prosecutor whose deliberate suppression of exculpatory evidence resulted in false homicide conviction that sent innocent man to prison for 25yrs, effectively orphaned his son and resulted and at least one additional murder by the actual killer?
Hint: actual case. He received the most severe punishment ever handed out to an American prosecutor for litigation misconduct.
The prosecutor—Ken Anderson—who deliberately withheld evidence that would have exonerated Michael Morton in the 1986 murder of his wife near Austin, was sentenced to five DAYS—served three. That’s apparently what “justice” looks like when the shoe is on the other foot.
