FEDERAL, PUBLIC AND CITY PROSECUTORS

Federal prosecutors have been known to try and win a case at any cost, apparently no matter if it destroys your career and reputation as well as bankrupt you in legal fees! In the past the government seemingly may have backed down from taking you to court if it felt you were not involved in a criminal enterprise.

Today, however, supposedly a federal prosecutors mindset may be to take down anyone and everyone that may possibly be connected to a case. Granted, it may not be intentional, but critics contend officers of the federal government may too often be overzealous.

Federal prosecutors have been accused of withholding crucial evidence from defense attorneys in a case, evidence which could show you are innocent! They also have been accused of withholding evidence from grand juries just so they are ensured that they get an indictment! Judges have thrown many cases out of court even before the defense has presented its case because federal prosecutors do not present enough evidence of wrongdoing. The Federal Bureau Of Investigation (FBI) may possibly even be used against you by the government to try and get you to accept or pay a bribe even though you thought the money was going to a lobbyist group, so always beware of the governments so-called good guy intentions. The government can turn on your when you least expect it and become your biggest enemy even if you are innocent. With its unlimited resources the government can turn your life upside down no matter if it is right or wrong!

City prosecutors have been accused of being in cahoots with local police and possibly falsifying or withholding evidence just to strengthen their case against someone they feel should be behind bars! Certain prosecutors and local police who worked on certain trial cases that ended in convictions and subsequent death sentences for the defendant, some cases are now being overturned on appeal leading to new trials and all at the taxpayers expense!

Critics charge that prosecutors at any level of government may too often decide not to release information or withhold evidence from a defense attorney in a case! Why? Prosecutors need convictions and if they feel a suspect is guilty, then this may possibly be all the more reason to conceal evidence!

If a prosecutor feels a suspect is absolutely, positively guilty then it is conceivable to critics that he may possibly build a case on evidence that brings in a conviction! Furthermore, a defendant is not even permitted to bring a lawsuit against a seemingly corrupt prosecutor if an innocent defendant is found guilty!
