Bammy's Model Prosecutor

Apparently an assistant US Attorney has done just what Obama thinks is best for his Administration's purposes.

A Federal District judge described that prosecutor's actions in one case.

[A]fter the defendant alleged pervasive prosecutorial misconduct, the trial court specifically agreed with much of what the defendant asserted, including that prosecutors failed to disclose exculpatory material while representing that no such material existed, put on witnesses without attempting to determine whether their testimony was true, and had reason to know that the testimony of at least two government witnesses was false. More generally, the court found that prosecutors had acted in a manner reflecting "at least a zealousness that is not worthy of prosecutors in the federal government ..." Reflecting the scope of the abuses it identified, the court repeatedly noted its concerns about their "cumulative effect," observing that it was "almost impossible to quantify the total impact" of the abuses on the defendant's ability to defend herself. --Quoted in PowerLine

The very model of a Modern Bammy-Reichs-lawyer.

And you think that the above is NOT prosecutorial misconduct?
