Influencing public opinion is not part of a prosecution’s mission. Their mission is to seek justice and win in court. (Edit: contrary to below, it’s supposed to be overall about justice, which is why prosecutors have discretion to not try cases and have other roles like support of victims)
Trying to influence the public is actually BAD for prosecutors since it can bias a jury pool and cause a court to grant a change of venue.
pretty much why people hate jury duty, they bias the JD people against either side(stronger on one side if one side have a pretty weak case), and they only pick the ones that dont know how to talk thier way out of JD, additionally people already incensed of being out of work, and have to work with the courts that are biased against poor people and POCs. also they treat jurors like shit anyways, pay them next to nothing per day for being a juror, let alone they for jurors to wait days or hours for being selected too.
They’re gonna a have to try harder lol
Altho isn’t influencing public opinion not part of a prosecutors mission?
Seems like the prosecution isn’t doing their job like they’re supposed to
Also the police
And the mayor
Also that dead CEO guy. He had a job to do. He did it wrong and paid himself instead of paying for people’s health insurance.
That’s why he’s dead
That’s also why they need to “convince” people he’s bad.
Because what he’s accused of doing is extremely popular.

We don’t have a “justice” system. We have a “legal” system. Prosecutors only seek wins (at any cost) - not justice.
That’s generous. I’d go with “penal” system, because they only care about taking and punishing. No justice without reform, rehab, and introspection.
