Prosecutors are supposed to prosecute criminal cases. Above all, they are supposed to be ministers of justice. But Ohio prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh has a long-standing record of resisting justice.
Back in 2005, she refused to talk to an Ohio Innocence Project investigator who had DNA evidence that the wrong man had been convicted. “That really surprised me. I couldn’t even have an intellectual discussion. It was just animosity and accusations of politics," the investigator later said.
In a second case, Judge Judy Hunter exonerated Douglas Prade, falsely convicted of killing his former wife. But Sherri Bevan Walsh decided to appeal the judge's decision, leading the newspaper account to speculate, "It has raised a growing concern about whether prosecutors are out to seek justice, as they are sworn to do, or to win cases at all costs."
Walsh was also featured in a recent expose of crusading prosecutors titled, "Seventeen Cases of Denied Innocence."
Despite all the negative publicity, Sherri Bevan Walsh continues in her justice-defying ways. Recently, she launched a Start By Believing campaign in Summit County, Ohio. She held a press conference lauding the Start By Believing philosophy. The Prosecutor’s Office used their resources to launch a significant marketing push, with 10 local billboards, 150 advertisements on bus interiors, and 27 advertisements on bus exteriors.
