- Title
PROSECUTORIAL TRAINING WHEELS: GINSBURG'S CONNICK V. THOMPSON DISSENT AND THE TRAINING IMPERATIVE.
- Authors
Fry, Timothy
- Abstract
The article discusses the reported importance of prosecutor training in America in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's (USSC's) ruling in the 2011 case Connick v. Thompson, including information on USSC Justice Ginsberg's dissent in the Connick case, as well as prosecutorial discretion and misconduct. The Brady doctrine, which was established in the USSC case Brady v. Maryland, deals with material evidence and the Due Process Clauses in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The author argues that the actions of the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office in Louisiana are an extreme example of prosecutorial misconduct.
