Soft on Crime DAs

The left wing voters of Berkshire County elected a criminal defense attorney to the position of county district attorney. Her name is Andrea Harrington.  She is like the DAs in Chicago and St. Louis who fail to understand that their job is to protect the public.  She just issued a press release announcing an expanded Brady policy that will require police to confess, among other things, "racial bias." Why not just hand out "get out of jail" cards? I posted the following response to the announcement: 

This is not a news story, it's a promotional brochure for Andrea Harrington's "wokeness." If the story is accurate, the policy goes well beyond Brady requirements. I am sympathetic to the plight of the relatively small number of defendants who are wrongly convicted. I am more sympathetic to the plight of victims of criminals who are wrongly NOT convicted because of overly generous policies imposed by district attornies who want to make political statements more than they want to prosecute wrongdoers.
