Yep, that is a world I want to live in where the word of a child murderer is more accepted than the word of everyone in the justice system.

Have you not been reading about all the cases where DNA evidence has exonerated a number of people convicted of crimes they didn't commit?

I didn't say I accepted the word of the alleged criminal. I simply take the position that there is evidence that the prosecutor denied the constitutional rights of the accused. Nothing more; nothing less.

In the state of Washington, there is no evidence that should lead a citizen to believe a large number of people in the judicial system wouldn't lie.

I follow closely cases of those who have been exonerated by DNA evidence. Guess what, in the majority of those cases the person was convicted on the basis of witness testimony.

Eye witness testimony is greatly unreliable, whereas DNA testing is quite reliable.

While prosscrutorial misconduct has happened (bad apples in any bunch you look at) the majority of wrongful convictions are not because of misconduct or deliberate falsification of evidence by the justice department.
