Carmen Ortiz, the US AG overseeing, has arranged plea deals with leniency and then gone for harsher punishment with the judge.

Any ones other than Donald Gonczy?

If a prosecutor is trying to vigorously prosecute, that's not really an imbalance in the system. They're not supposed to be fair about it, any more than the defense counsel is supposed to be "fair" about both sides of the issue, while defending the person. The problem is when the prosecutor's vigor isn't matched on the defense side (which does happen for systemic reasons, and is a massive injustice).

Why do you think a prosecutor who tries to prosecute people is "the worst type of person" for the job? I would think the worst type would be someone who fabricates evidence or something, followed at some distance by someone who's not very vigorous about prosecuting real crime so that someone dangerous is kicking around loose on the street.

It sounds like in that one case, the prosecution recommended exactly the agreed-upon plea agreement, but also made statements at trial that were so aggressive that it amounted to undermining the plea agreement. And so, a judge fixed it, because that's injustice. That's how the system is supposed to work, I think. Is it more than just the one person?

Also what does any of this have to do with Democrats? Is she a Democrat? Where did that part come from?
