Here's why.

It's their job to do that.

They didn't.

It's their job to tell the court, no, we agree.

The relief he's requested should be granted.

So the prosecutor in our system, even though it may seem that way from TV, they have actually a higher duty, a higher calling, and they're called upon to do that, to examine the evidence.

And if it's not there, they're supposed to tell the court

We don't support this conviction.

They could tell the judge, we support the reversal of this conviction.

Of course, we know that they're human.

There's political factors.

And Jack, you might be right.

They might be worried about the domino effect of whoever these members of law enforcement detectives were and other cases getting reexamined and thrown out.

That very well could be possible.

And they should be applauded.

I think, you know, we take shots at prosecutors all the time, especially on my side.

But oftentimes they do the right thing.

Just like that, I had a federal gun case that was supposed to go to trial.

This was last fall.

We were on the Friday before the trial.
