snedden botched this.
The job of the prosecutor is NOT just advocacy. It is to labor for truth. The prosecutor has just as much duty to see the weaknesses and NOT prosecuting a bad case as prosecuting the good cases.
Otherwise the prosecutor's job is to win at any cost. (a mistaken notion of many a prosecutorial hack)
I agree. But there are many who think the prosecutor is a neutral party.

True!! When I was a prosecutor, in more than one case I dismissed it when it became apparent that the wrong person had been charged. It isn't easy to do, but it is the right thing to do.
