Anyone see "60 Minutes" tonight?

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. demosincebirth Jun 2013 #1
He sleeps very well, thank you, (well maybe now that he's being held to account he doesn't.) Archae Jun 2013 #2

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.)
