Crime & Federalism

Here is an award for which most would not wish to receive a nomination.  (Via Lat).

What is interesting, but not surprising, is that most of the prosecutors on the list who did really unethical things are still practicing law.   Lynne Kalina, who did not make the list, lied under oath - no doubt about it.  Yet she was never disciplined and remains a prosecutor.  The truth is that no one but a few wolves howling into the night care about prosecutorial misconduct.  The North Carolina legislature rebuffed even marginal attempts at reforming the same system that gave us Mike Nifong.
