It's one thing to accuse a prosecutor of going overboard, or for a justice system that has unrealistic penalties for crimes with few or no victims. I think that's a valid argument. BUT.....to then say that the prosecutor is responsible for the completely illogical step of the investigated person killing himself???? I just can't make that leap.
