The segment with the corrupt prosecutor was a repeat, but still relevant.
That corrupt prosecutor blames "the system" for his actions, and claims he did nothing wrong.
Nothing wrong?
He put a guy in jail for a murder someone else did, (the real murderer killed again, after,) and went on to become a judge.

Made me sick to my stomach. How do some prosecutors, like this guy, sleep at night.

But to the ambitious, nothing matters.
Just "locking 'em up and throwing away the key," to hell with innocence.
We even have a Supreme Court justice who has said it doesn't matter if someone is actually innocent. (Scalia, naturally.)
