1. What conflict of interest can there be?

Are they afraid she'll be too zealous in her job? She owes the victim, and the public, at least that much.

3. If this is all true...

what the hell?

4. An expected motion from the defense attorneys under the circumstances

If the judge agrees they get a different prosecutor, if not they get a basis for appeal if their client is convicted.

5. IF she actually named and filed charges against

Two individuals wrongly, or at least with the wrong names, then she is really screwing up, going too fast, and being unforgivably sloppy. You do not charge anyone, even a cop, with murder and make a mistake as to identity. Her future just plummeted.

6. The names were correct. But the people weren't cops.

They just had the same names as the cops.

8. They had arrested the wrong people with similar names. . .

Still unforgivably sloppy.

9. They weren't actually arrested (thankfully).

But their information was listed in court records.

12. Thats the way I am reading it as well, I just wish some here

15. Why would they start doing that now?

Reacting and posting without reading an article is a common trend here

16. "Reacting and posting without reading an article is a common trend here" True enough.

10. A conflict of interest?

Another buzz phrase for: "She's Black"

assholes

11. I see. The "conflict" is that this prosecutor actually wants to prosecute.

In other words, she doesn't have a conflict in favor of the cops like the other so-called prosecutors.

13. More bullshit

They want a white prosecutor who will go soft on the defendants so as to not make the police look bad. Unfortunately we all know how this is going to end. Kabuki theater at its finest.
