Guest Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 http://campaigns.270soft.com/2017/11/12/manhattan-da-election-2017/ After Cyrus Vance has come under fire can an insurgent write-in campaign win? Please note: This had to be made for PMI due to various bugs I encountered trying to make this in PI. @Reagan04 and @thr33 might want to try this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But make prosecutors don't actually make or amend the criminal code, or even interpret it like judges can, nor can prosecutors amend courtroom procedures and protocols by fiat.

Sounds like they, along with Turkish and Russian prosecutors, are such you don't want to be dragged in front of, even if you're innocent (but unless you're rich and have powerful friends). Especially with the "conviction quota" system I've heard exists in the U.S., which, the way it's described, sounds like a blatant, broad-scale violation of the civil rights of many defendants and the principles of justice itself.

In fact last time a Democrat won by 10 points in Staten Island of all places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does either major party campaign against or show opposition to, or even mention, conviction quotas in these elections, or is this vile evil institution and degradation of the justice system carried on by omission, relying on the general ignorance of the electorate?

populist86 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Gave it a shot, got destroyed. Wonder if I could've been harsher on him.

Edouard Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 To explain my big landslide: I played on a 3 fundraisers + 3 rallies and 3 bainstormings in the parts of DA every day + using enough broadcast for supporting me and against the democrats helped by the targets and the footsoliders.
