ERADICATING AMERICAN
by Ronald H. ClarkPublish: Feb 28, 2023General NonfictionBook Overview
This Handbook is designed for both prosecutors and defense counsel alike as well as anyone interested in the prosecutor’s role sand functions. Its modest goal is to eradicate what is called “prosecutor misconduct”. While this Handbook may serve as a guidebook for prosecutors, it also arms defense counsel with information that can be used to ensure that their clients receive a fair trial.An example of how the Handbook simultaneously guides prosecutors and arms defense counsel is that it spells out what a prosecutor is prohibited by law and ethical rules from saying in trial. By identifying what a prosecutor is not permitted to say in trial, it not only tells prosecutors what not to do but also provides defense counsel with grounds and legal authority for either an objection, a motion for mistrial, or an appeal if the trial judge overrules the objection or denies the motion.
Inside this short yet comprehensive Handbook, you’ll learn:
• What a prosecutor by law and ethical rules is prohibited from saying and doing in pretrial and trial
• The history of the American prosecutor from colonial times until now
• The prosecutor’s unique roles and responsibilities in the criminal justice system
