The Nov. 9 issue of CQ Researcher (subscription) is a look at prosecutor misconduct issues by Ken Jost. It discusses the Duke rape case, the Jena 6 controversy, and several other cases. The "At Issue" opinion pieces are on the question "Should it be easier to sue prosecutors for misconduct?" Joshua Marquis, DA of Astoria, Oregon, wrote the con and Margaret Johns of UC Davis wrote the pro.
Although arguably a different topic, it would be good to see some discussion of defense attorney misconduct to provide context.
