I'm not angry, I'm upset.

More to the point, the prosecutor is guilty, which is why he received 10 days in jail. I'm expressing that that should have been a larger punishment for the anguish he caused, and admitted to. On top of that, this time they have a stack of evidence, enough to exonerate someone, and the prosecutors actions got another person killed.

Very different circumstances, in my opinion. I do agree with your final sentence, however.



I agree that 10 days is too litte, but note that it's part of a deal which cost him his law license and highly prestigious (and paid) job as a judge. That's the real punishment.


Agreed with you there; I only hope that this continues moving forward. It's fairly unprecedented that a prosecutor would have this happen. It's not really about punishment as it is disincentive... I hope its enough to stop future Mr Moretons from having their lives ruined.
