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.

Well, I am a civil attorney who has seen business clients railroaded by federal prosecutors goaded to action by federal bureuacrats. Just look at what the Feds did to Arthur Andersen: destroying a vital company and throwing tens of thousands out of work, on a bogus obstruction of justice charge. And the feds will get away with it, just as the sniper who killed Randy Weaver's wife and son never had to face justice.

I don't trust the government, period.

Prosecutors can't choose the victims. People come in, having been the victim of a crime, and MJ chooses dysfunctional familes carefully..
