""If a prosecutor knowingly introduces false evidence at trial, that prosecutor is absolutely immune from lawsuit," explains Stephen Sanders, an attorney representing Richter and Hrvol. The rationale is that if prosecutors could be blamed for errors in a trial, they would become vulnerable targets for any litigious convict with an ax to grind."One day we'll catch up to Sharia and the Old Testament legal codes which actually not only outlaw this behavior, but do so in very harsh terms as a protection of the accused. In fact, under the Old Testament law, perjury and false prosecution (essentially the same thing under the Mosaic Law) was punishable by the sentence for the alleged crime. Claim an innocent man is a murderer while perjuring yourself? Off to be stoned with you for "murder by state."We're so ***** "progressive" that the legal codes of the ancient middle east are more protective of the accused than we are.
