    Shouldn’t prosecutors care about forensics and laws, and not about the public’s mood?

      On paper they should care about the truth. Also on paper their KPIs usually involve conviction rates and numbers.

        This one is way too high profile to be about conviction rates. Also likely the big shots in the office that hound the people about conviction rates will take on the case themselves because they want to be on TV. And since they don’t normally do any work, they might fuck it all up, like what happened in the Alec Baldwin case.

      The only thing they give a shit about is sending a message that the privileged class is untouchable and not to be messed with. Look no further than how lax they’re treating the guy that popped those Minnesota congresspeople, the rich are in a different league and must be revered as such.
