What is protecting the out-of-line actions of some DA's? While something so blatant did not occur in Paul's case. It sometimes felt as though outrages such as this reflect the virtual contempt held towards him by the DA and certain actors in his prosecution. Please, also, consider the trend in some states, such as Virginia to prosecute children and overcharge to get easier convictions for lesser misdemeanors: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/virginias-appalling-prosecution-of-disabled-children/2016/03/10/c12d9706-e62d-11e5-a9ce-681055c7a05f_story.html I am hoping I am/was all wrong about the Monterey County DA.
