Terra Morehead, a longtime county and federal prosecutor who helped police frame at least one innocent man, has agreed to surrender her law license and faces disbarment.
Morehead, who became notorious for skirting legal protections for defendants, agreed to surrender her license as part of an agreement with the Kansas Board for Discipline of Attorneys. She is awaiting disbarment from the Kansas Supreme Court, according to court filings.
If you follow the innocence project at all, you will see procecutors doing their damnest to keep exculpatory evidence from being considered.
I truly cannot understand why.
Because they want the “win.” They don’t give a shit about justice.
I also think it can be a power trip. And they may also think that the person is just “bad” and deserves punishment for whatever other crimes (real or imagined).
It’s like that prosecutor in Indiana that held two trials and put two different men in jail for the same crime (it was a crime that only one person could commit). Like, you know only one person could do it. So you either got the right one or not.
Did that prosecutor care? No, they got two wins under their record.
We don’t have a justice system. We have a fascist jobs program for assholes.
I don’t know an attorney who calls it the justice system. They all call it the criminal/punishment system
And that is a lie. It only punishes poor people that can’t afford freedom.
Because prosecutors are more concerned with keeping their metrics up than seeking justice.
because prosecutors care more about wins than justice.
combine that with the back door buddy buddy relationship with the cops, and well, corruption at its finest.
