Executing innocence: AZ police and prosecutorial misconduct work hand in hand.

Shame on the AZ Attorney General's office and the Maricopa County Attorney for not disclosing any of this during Debra Milke's prior hearings.  They would sooner let an innocent woman be executed than admit that their colleagues made a serious mistake when they prosecuted her based on Saldate's testimony in the first place.  She's STILL sitting on death row because of this pig Armando Saldate - he's the one who should be doing hard time, but the AZ AG's office apparently didn't think he did anything wrong, because they still wanted to kill Debra. 

We'll see if Bill Montgomery really believes Saldate's testimony - or is willing to use it to prosecute Debra Milke again. He'll probably offer to let her walk free with time served if she pleads no contest to the murder of her son, just to mitigate the liability the state has for her wrongful imprisonment; a cowardly thing to do, for a  prosecutor, I think. That's what AZ did to Bill Macumber and Louis Taylor.

Thanks again to Wendy Halloran and Channel 12 News for holding the "justice" system accountable again. This is one more reason why prosecutors need to have consequences when they refuse to turn over critical information to the defense, and otherwise engage in malicious and wrongful prosecutions.
