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.

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.
