"People shouldn’t be able to just dust their hands of this."
Yet the system will let them. I've had a prosecutor and trooper hold a charge that they know was incorrect and subject us to pre trial restrictions found only under that charge. The prosecutor also used their position to block our ability to have a witness remotely testify by telling court scheduling not to even speak to us (inappropriately using their position to influence the court). The state police said they see nothing wrong with knowingly holding an incorrect charge and subjecting people to pretrial under it. The Bar said that even though the conduct we described would constitute prosecutorial misconduct, they won't pursue complaints against prosecutors unless the court makes a determination supporting that. That would cost thousands of dollars to hire a lawyer, make an appeal, etc. The ACLU said they have bigger issues to deal with. I submitted a complaint to DOJ, but I'm not holding my breath.
Literally everyone we dealt with as a part of the system made a bunch of mistakes and didn't give damn about correcting them or protecting people's rights. It's us vs them and all about the money.
