PTA prosecutor likes to party!

So disappointing that she parties with kids, thats totally not cool. I think its okay for everybody to get high though, from presidents to construction workers to prosecutors. If is good shit then it helps with the thinking, negotiation process....at least thats how it works with me.

Hmm. I believe many prosecutors who conjure up incredible scenarios based on circumstantial evidence, are really pretty crazy people who are either suppressing their our desires by prosecuting others, living vicariously through the reliving / retelling or projecting / externalizing their own thoughts, motivations and behaviors on the defendant.

Think about the long nights prosecutors must spend figuring out all the little details and sequence of events of the "alleged" perpetrating horrible crimes violating their victims. It boggles my mind.

There's a simple term for it, "embellishment." It didn't use to be something that could convict, let alone be the cause of having someone put to death. But that's how it works in the United States.

Another term might be, fabrication, or speculation, or an outright lie.

There is a difference between being a great investigator who sleuths out the truth from the tiny fragments, and one who simply has a wild imagination.

The crazy prosecutor will emulate the sharp prosecutors so they'd likely present, speak and otherwise sound pretty much the same, but if you really scrutinized what's being presented, you'd see which was grossly incompetent with a wild imagination and which was really good at figuring things out.

Unfortunately, by far, most trials are only very superficial affairs do to the need to minimize the duration of the trial to keep costs down, keep the jury from getting bored (can you believe it), and because there is a lack of really thoughtful, probing people in our society. Injustice is the result. Innocent people sentenced to death. Good, innocent people sentenced to years in prison.

Take it a step further; a person who knows how messed up the system is could easily manipulate it. Victimizers can prey on good honest people and use the faults of the judicial system to their advantage, knowing no one will look under the surface, knowing everyone only cares about their own advancement, knowing no one is going to risk their own necks for what is right. That's what we've been living with for some time now.

So for this woman, well according to our Constitution, she is innocent until proven guilty, but I'm sure she knows better than anyone that isn't how things are done - and I'd bet you money (if it were legal) that she didn't conduct herself that way as a deputy attorney.
