Who Are Prosecuting The Prosecutors?

Three examples that clearly shows that fellow officers are unlikely to arrest another officer, prosecutors will support their own and judges will refuse to convict another judge. Police officers, prosecutors and judges are committing crimes and violating the law everyday but how are they being held accountable for their actions? Chances are they aren’t.

In 2007, it was the Federal Court not the District of Columbia Courts that prosecuted former officer Donnay A. Davis, an officer assigned to the 5th Police District. The victim contacted the 5th District Police Department about the officer’s presence in her home immediately preceding the disappearance of her credit card. Davis pleaded guilty within two months of his arrest on charges of stealing the homeowner's credit card.

A Prince William County prosecutor, Douglas Marshall in December of 2010, has been arrested on drunken driving charges, has been charged with driving while intoxicated, felony drug possession and other offenses. He still has his job at the prosecutor office until the case is disposed.

October 5, 2010, a veteran federal judge, Senior U.S. District Judge Jack T. Camp, faces drug and firearms charges. Judge Camp's arrest set up an unusual domino effect in the federal courthouse. The district's federal judges all refused to be a judge for this case. So Magistrate Judge Charles S. Coody of Alabama was brought in to hear the case. Further, local Federal prosecutors refused to participate in the prosecution. So Federal prosecutors from Washington also flew in to handle the government's arguments.
