I think all of that stuff is just too sad for words :-(
Although there are many very well qualified and honorable people within the US legal system, - there is also an incredible amount of utter fools who have not the first clue of any form of "justice" and even attempt to divert "real justice" for their own agendas.
I suppose that what happens when prosecutors are "democratically" elected and have further ambitions to be "something political" in their future careers. Some call them prosecutors - others could justifiably call them assholes.
There are also the same idiots of defense teams.
Add to that the fact that the "Justice Department" is really another extension of the "party of the day" and oozes political agenda's and "sometimes" justice.
I can't see much further than it being a totally corrupt system, tho - there are decent people working within it.
A lot of this conduct would not be tolerated in any other western country - it's just too extreme and "illegal"!
