Perhaps the biggest problem facing our criminal justice system is out-of-control prosecutors.
With little accountability and no limits in place to prevent oversteps, criminal prosecutors are free to abuse the justice system without facing consequences.
The media consistently portrays left-wing prosecutors as well-intentioned reformers fighting a broken system.
In October, ProPublica published a piece labeling one such prosecutor a "Voice for change." Any resistance to these narratives is chalked up to right-wing obstruction.
There, the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals determined that prosecutors brought an indictment for conduct that was not even a crime and, in the process, withheld evidence.
Back in 2013, Wisconsin prosecutors went after the political supporters of Governor Scott Walker with no evidence, raiding their homes and seizing their phones and computers.
Real reform requires passing actual legislation and creating accountability for prosecutors.
