I haven't read anything about Mr Dendingers case recently.
That no one was fired, prosecuted or in jail for that incident is totally beyond me.

In cases like this the prosecuting attorney should see jail time in my opinion.
You need to be careful when reading these stories. I noticed that nowhere in the article did it say where the 2nd pistol was found. Perhaps it was found 5 miles away and had nothing to do with this crime and that is why it wasn't reported. I have no idea what happened but I am always suspicious of what I read

Do you agree that prosecutors who knowingly witholds exculpatory evidence, then goes on to win a conviction should be behind bars?
How this isn't a crime on the books already is totally beyond me.

Just stopping in to say that crooked police are the worst of the worst when it comes to fricking absolute trash.... and that is extended to police that turn a blind eye to their fellow police doing shady shite. They are just as guilty and on par with child rapist in my honest opinion. The lowest scum on earth.

I thought a DA had to resign?
Found it, 2 ADA's resigned

Protect and serve. Back the badge. War on police. Tax dollars at work. Few bad apples. Just want to go home to their families. Heroes.

They resigned after the DA's office changed hands...
Hardly punishment for lying on sworn statements, then filing false charges against a totally innocent man. IIRC the bar association declined to file ethics charges. They weren't even close to getting disbarred. Apparently filing false charges is ethical in La.

That is outrageous, how can we let this happen?

That's beyond insane that a court ruled they had probable cause to arrest him. What video were they watching?

Everyone on here will point the finger at the police, which is fine when warranted, but I have found over 25 years that the ADA's/AUSA's are way way more likely to pull stuff than the police.
Police get a pat on the back for an arrest. Prosecutor's promotions and later income as a defense attorney are 100% based on their conviction records. I have seen them do some blatantly unsavory shite from both sides of the court room.
So before you go lining up the deputies and shooting them (I mean really, was that comment necessary?) you might want to find out who did what when. Not that this fine journalistic Pulitzer website would slant the facts to make a nice story for CLICKS...

I saw the video, how can they say that with a straight face?

I think the point if the article was to point out there's no incentive for DA's to hand over anything that would endanger their case. In fact there's nothing holding them back from prosecuting totally innocent people for totally nefarious reasons.

How did these innocent people end up being prosecuted for these nefarious reasons? Could it be because the police arrested them?

In some cases yes, in others no. Dendinger was originally released after serving his papers- it was only after Julie Knight wroye up a false affidavit and filed false charges that he was arrested.

That's just not true.
There are very strict rules regarding withholding exculpatory evidence (it is called Brady material) and failure to do so can get them permanently disbarred.
Outright conspiracy with others to do so can get them jail time. The DA in the Duke lacrosse case went to jail for this very thing. It doesn't happen too often but it is a big deal when it does.

Sure the case law says one thing, but reality is quite different. Almost no one polices the police, even fewer police the DA's.
Do me a favor. Read up on the Dendinger case and explain to me why Julie Knight shouldn't be behind bars right now.
So what you can send a totally innocent person to jail for decades or even executed by the state and the worst thing that will happen is you get disbarred? One is not like the other. Really? Even that happens fractions of a fraction of the time.

Not disagreeing at all with anything you said here. Was just replying to this:
Saying there isn't any incentive or nothing holding them back is much different from saying it isn't pursued very often or that getting disbarred isn't enough.
