Lew Powell: A panel for prosecutors
The Jan. 15 editorial “The limits of zeal” contrasted the penalty given Christine Mumma with the absence of rebuke to prosecutors for the “massive failure” that kept her client wrongfully imprisoned for more than 36 years.
It is not enough simply to point out this shameful disparity. The public embarrassment resulting from the hearing should move the North Carolina State Bar to empower a separate disciplinary panel to deal only with prosecutorial excesses. Such a panel would not lack for business.
