Prosecutors are of course necessary. But we conservatives need to learn to be as skeptical of government in this area as we are in others. Just because prosecutors serve a legitimate role is no reason to believe that they are always right.

Prosecutors are vital.

This prosecutor did a reasonably decent job. But trying, in California, to win a conviction against a flaming fruitcake like Jackson and his $50 million defense is like trying to drop a six inch putt in the teeth of a 200 mph hurricane.

It's looks easy, but it ain't.

I'm a former prosecutor. Although I suffered only one outright acquittal in all my years as a prosecutor, I know full well how difficult the job is. I am not quick to find fault with most of them.

Here's the deal. Every prosecution of a celebrity is a difficult and expensive prosecution, especially in California. Let the good citizens of California draft and pass a proposition that grants immunity from criminal prosecution to all celebrities. They are our royalty, and they obviously deserve to be treated as such, right?

That would put the Meseareus out of business and save tons of taxpayer money. And your tender soul wouldn't be vexed by "incompetent" and "heavy-handed" prosecutions in the case of celebrities.

If that proves workable, let them pass a proposition banning all prosecutions, regardless of celebrity or lack thereof.

What do you think? Tempted?
