This right here is it -- the DA&#x27;s and state&#x27;s attorney&#x27;s career advancement is tied to winning cases, and there is no better way to win a case than having the PD on your side.<p>PDs that curry favor from their judicial counterparts get freedom from oversight.<p>Both feed off of each-other, especially when confessions and plea bargains are the norm -- PDs coerce confessions and prosecutors coerce plea bargains, and justice remains un-served.
