Prosecutors should not be immune from suits

Especially not suits for willingly confabulating “evidence” in order to jail innocent people. I think that they ought to have only the narrowest of qualified immunity, even, and certainly not absolute immunity.

I also think they ought to be subject to criminal as well as civil proceedings, and that, on both criminal and civil sides, the statute of limitations clock should not start ticking until the day the wrongfully imprisoned are released.
