Well, if my job depended on public opinion of me, and I'd been acting like

 giant, abusive, power-hungry asshats, I might want to keep people quiet, too.


Speaking of abusive, corrupt asshats, the prosecutors in the Zimmerman case stand out.
The murder case against half-Latino neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman was dealt a devastating blow Tuesday, when prosecutors acknowledged that their star witness, the 19-year old former girlfriend of the late Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, lied under oath.
The woman, who also told police she was on the phone with Martin shortly before his death, falsely testified that she was in the hospital on the day of Martin’s funeral — perhaps to garner sympathy.
“In fact, she lied,” defense attorney Don West said. Prosecutors also acknowledged her lie, but were reportedly vague about whether they would charge the woman with perjury.
Considering their own actions, maybe they see her as a fellow abuser of the truth who should be protected?

Some of the background on why a number of the prosecution team ought to be disbarred, and probably in jail, here.
