Truck driver sentenced to 110 years shows hazards of prosecutors manipulating trial system Plea deals and threats of overly harsh sentences have become routine and tear down what the Constitution is intended to protect – the right to trial.

Courts have a responsibility to make sure their records are accurate so that people don’t end up caught in a situation like this man - arrested repeatedly for a restraining order that no longer existed. https://www.coloradopolitics.com/courts/man-settles-with-mesa-countys-top-judge-for-100-000-over-wrongful-arrests/article_d6f40d5e-7894-11ec-9008-3770730b8d11.html

Man settles with Mesa County's top judge for $100,000 over wrongful arrests A man who was wrongfully arrested seven times based on an outdated protection order has settled his lawsuit with the chief judge of Mesa County for $100,000.

“This is very disturbing,” Tristan Gorman, legislative policy coordinator for the Colorado Criminal Defense Bar, said about the post. “It obviously flies in the face of the prosecution’s ethical obligation to seek justice rather than a conviction… It’s just bragging rights about a trial win, where people on both sides, their lives were either ended or forever changed. The tone of it seems almost like the prosecutor is treating it like a game she won.”
