Hey, I would suggest bouncing from lemmy.world. It's heavily populated by neoliberals so posts like this aren't going to go over well.

For the idiots who don't know that prosecutors don't impose sentences, judges do?

What a garbage defense. The point is that she actively supported locking up minorities and collaborated with private prisons to profit off prisoners. If you want to blame all that on "judges", then who's the real idiot?

The whole point of the injustice system is dividing up all the evil so no single person feels responsible and no single person can be held accountable. But it will never actually absolve prosecutors of their prosecutions.

Has to do with bad crime lab evidence:

https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article233375207.html

"While the San Francisco Police Department was responsible for running the lab, not Harris’s district attorney office, a court ruled in 2010 that the district attorney’s office violated defendants’ constitutional rights by not disclosing what it knew about the tainted drug evidence.

Judge Anne-Christine Masullo wrote in her decision that prosecutors “at the highest levels of the district attorney’s office knew that Madden was not a dependable witness at trial and that there were serious concerns regarding the crime lab.”

Right, which are controlled by ", not the prosecutor".

Right, which are controlled by “, not the prosecutor”.

"It was the SS that ran the death camps, not us - besides, we were just doing our job!" - quite a few Gestapo boys at the end of WW2, probably.

Your point is irrelevant so that was the nicest reply I could think of.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's only "irrelevant" to fascism sympathizers - so good job outing yourself.

Or anyone with a brain who doesn't equate a functioning legal system to the Nazis. Get lost idiot.

The prosecutor chooses which expert witnesses and evidence to use in court, Harris knew this witness and evidence were suspect, used them anyway to get convictions, and maintained the suspect evidence to keep people imprisoned when they should have been released.

The judge determines what evidence is allowed in court and not allowed.

Yes, and the DA determines what to bring to the judge. Harris knew the witness and evidence was comprimised and brought it anyway to get the conviction. Post conviction, she fought exculpatory evidence that would have seen people freed.

So, you'd rather have convicted felon Donald Trump leading the country instead?

Forget about it.

Liberals don't care - they have their "good cop" (literally a pig), and they will happily go to sleep after November while Harris and the dems fertilizes the ground further for the fascists.
