(2,805 posts)If threats were made you have corruption. If the prosecutors just did a crappy job even on purpose you don't have corruption. They could be fired but they weren't necessarily doing anything illegal.
Look at the issue with the gun in the recent incident. O'Mara says there was definitely a gun present. The cops say, "there was no gun". They can say that because they didn't search the car. They can declare that no gun was found as an absolute fact. They made a conscious choice not to find evidence of the gun. Is that corruption? Bad police work? A judgement call?
If they were suspended for such an action while it was reviewed, I can guarantee that they would not be found "corrupt" by any review board. They could be let go because the State didn't like their job performance but they didn't actually do anything illegal.
So, unless the prosecution threatened witnesses and it can be proven then the Justice department should not get involved.
