[quote=Anonymous]Can you please define/differentiate ethical vs unethical quid pro quo agreements within the context of the criminal legal system? Just to shortcut this I’ll tell you where I suspect third goes: First, given the severe power imbalance between the parties, it is hard to believe any prosecutorial motivated agreements are ethical (plea deals, cooperation agreements, etc) since it is hard to argue both parties freely entered into the agreements. Second, I agree that any prosecutorial agreement where the benefit accrues to a party other than the state is unethical. I suspect what that leaves us with is: “I don’t like the policy goal” of the agreement. And I agree that any prosecutor is fully entitled to resign when she does not like the policy goal, but what exactly does that leave? [/quote]
