Stop prosecutorial abuses

The past year has seen an epidemic of reports of prosecutorial misconduct. We've seen judges harshly denouncing over-zealous prosecutors in the KPMG case, the Tollman cases, the case against Representative Jefferson and the Duke lacrosse case. These cases, while wildly different, had one common theme: The defendants had the financial wherewithal to defend themselves. DOJ officials need to be much more aggressive, and refer cases to the Office of Professional Responsibility at the first hint of misconduct.
