Over at Politico.com, libertarian Radley Balko comments on the dubious career of Massachusetts candidate for the U.S. Senate, Martha Coakley. A career prosecutor, she has been connected to some of the worst criminal justice abuses in Massachusetts history.
Like other ambitious prosecutors, she’s tried to parlay her conduct into proof that she’s tough on crime. One cannot admirably be tough on crime by being unjust.
A bad prosecutor is a threat to the public good.
See, Is Martha Coakley committed to justice?
