Jailhouse informants should never be allowed in court. In every case the informant is rewarded one way or another so police can clear up serious crimes.

"The [prosecuting] Attorney is the representative not of an ordinary party to a controversy, but of a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done. As such, he is in a peculiar and very definite sense the servant of the law, the twofold aim of which is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer. He may prosecute with earnestness and vigor-- indeed, he should do so. But, while he may strike hard blows, he is not at liberty to strike foul ones. It is as much his duty to refrain from improper methods calculated to produce a wrongful conviction as it is to use every legitimate means to bring about a just one." Berger v.

Most of us will be able to figure it out. Let's not mention the 'IMPEACHMENT", most of us have figured THAT ONE OUT!

He should be given a new trial. What’s so difficult about that?

"There is no statute of limitations on innocence and there is no expiration date on justice," Runnels said. "A prosecutor's duty to correct errors is never terminated . . . The integrity of the justice system depends on those in power telling the truth and correcting errors when they become known." www.cnn.com/2019/08/29/us/missouri-wrongly-convicted-lamar-johnson/index.html
