Not that I agree with you, but what's your idea of the prosecutor's consequence? A fine? Firing? Disbarment?

Tbh, they should get disbarred as well. If playing dirty just turns into a stroke of luck for the accused and nothing more, it doesn't really do much to stop the prosecution from doing it again. They get paid to play dirty and just move on to the next one when caught.

Exactly where I was going with my question. There would need to be steep penalties for being caught trying to undermine the process. Even if they had made an honest mistake, I feel the individuals holding the power of a prosecutor should be expected to held to a higher standard, and therefore higher consequence.

I'm not familiar with how discipline for a prosecutor works, but I assume there is some process.
