First describe Prosecutor discretion (Chapter 6, pgs. 171-173) and Prosecutorial Immunity (Chapter 6, pgs. 187-188). Why are these important and helpful to Prosecutors? Prosecutors work alongside police everyday arguing officer created cases in court and trying to get convictions. Does the bonds created between prosecutor and officer through their joint efforts to get convictions plus prosecutor discretion and immunity possibly play a factor into why so few police officers are ever prosecuted? Is there a way to change this?
