Revive Private Criminal Prosecutions To Stop Corrupt Legislators, Executives, Judges, Sheriffs and Prosecutors

Created by H.N. on December 09, 2012

We are all frustrated by corrupt legislators, executives, judges, and sheriffs, but we should give some attention to corrupt prosecutors. They are the ones who refuse to take a meritorious case to a grand jury or to prosecute it because it goes against powerful interests or involves fellow officials.

In British law private prosecution is a criminal prosecution that is prosecuted by a private prosecutor, either working pro bono or being paid by interested parties, such as the victims of a crime or his survivors, family, or friends.

Private prosecution is not an established practice in the United States, but a review of state and federal statutes finds no exclusion of it, either.

To get the grand jury system to work as intended, we need to revive private prosecution.
