That&#x27;s not a prosecutor&#x27;s job to worry about the mental state of a defendant.  It&#x27;s their job to prosecute the case if the evidence is there, and it was. The defense can worry about the defendants state of mind, that&#x27;s part of their job.  This prosecutor was overzealous in the charges being made, but there&#x27;s no doubt they had a strong case against him and he was guilty of a felony.
