Immoral minority
Article Abstract:
Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's misconduct in the investigation of Pres Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky is symptomatic of misconduct by other public prosecutors in the American judicial system. Prosecutors routinely pack indictments with maximum charges to intimidate defendants. They have a 90% conviction rate for federal prosecutions. Most prosecutors are prosecutors for all of their professional life and do not gain experience from the criminal defense lawyer's point of view. The litigious American society has more prisoners than any other country.
