If you bring a case against someone in bad faith, you shouldn’t be able to prosecute it again when you get caught. Otherwise there’s no consequence for the state when they don’t play by the rules.
Tbh, they should get disbarred as well. If playing dirty just turns into a stroke of luck for the accused and nothing more, it doesn’t really do much to stop the prosecution from doing it again. They get paid to play dirty and just move on to the next one when caught.
Exactly where I was going with my question. There would need to be steep penalties for being caught trying to undermine the process. Even if they had made an honest mistake, I feel the individuals holding the power of a prosecutor should be expected to held to a higher standard, and therefore higher consequence.
That’s dumb. As an actor, I can understand it, but as the producer, he definitely bears responsibility for the actions of the crew.
Did you read WHY it was dismissed?
It was due to the actions of the police and prosecutor withholding evidence improperly.
Even if true, that’s no reason to dismiss with prejudice.

True, but the mechanism for that should be consequences for the prosecutors themselves, not bypassing justice and absolving the accused.
If it hadn’t been detected, a potentially innocent person goes to jail.
(I’m aware someone died, but the case wasn’t over yet)
Right. They should resolve the issue with the evidence and retry the case fairly.
The prosecution is an entity. They can’t bring the case again.
Only because the judge chose to dismiss with prejudice.
Not that I agree with you, but what’s your idea of the prosecutor’s consequence? A fine? Firing? Disbarment?

I hear finger-wagging under their nose is pretty effective.
I’m not familiar with how discipline for a prosecutor works, but I assume there is some process.
