The articles then look to the failure of the to apply significant penalties that would deter future bad acts by prosecutors. Floyd finally argues that of intentional prosecutorial misconduct is the only remedy to force compliance with court orders and laws concerning discovery of evidence.
"After nearly 300 documented cases of DNA exonerations, some of which resulted in decades in prison for innocent individuals, we should demand legislation that criminalizes intentional prosecutorial misconduct for those prosecutors who intentionally hide, alter or mischaracterize evidence used in criminal prosecutions. Undeniably, this has become the most despicable facet of our criminal justice system, and it occurs far more than most people think. It is my firm belief that this type of official misconduct should be criminally prosecuted," says Floyd.
