Do Prosecuting Attorneys Have Morals?

[Sociopathicsteelerfan]

Most prosecutors get into the business because they want to ensure that guilty people face justice. As was stated by the defense, and many others, during the Rittenhouse trial, the prosecution should always be focused on unearthing the truth, not winning their case. The majority of the times these will amount to the same thing. Binger clearly cared more about winning his case then getting to the truth, which is unethical behavior. I will say as someone who's interacted with hundreds of ADA's (I met Jackie Lacey once as well and she impressed me as an intelligent person) the vast, vast majority of them are as described in my first sentence. Like any profession you will get some bad apples.


I will say, if Binger was the ADA in My Cousin Vinny he would never have asked for the charges to be dismissed at the end.
