Why are legal professionals such as KAREN BRANDON permitted to continue practicing law after LYING to a jury ?? She KNEW the blood type didn't match the victim or the defendent, but she told a jury that it did !! She should have been disbarred.
The Brevard Assistanat State Attorney is just as scary....he doesn't think the defendent "deserves" a new trial if the DNA test on ths shirt doesn't match the victim or the defendent ?!?! Absurd ! This was the major piece of evidence in the case.
While I am all for keeping criminals locked up, I think we should have a few lawyers and police investigators behind those bars as well.
As a nurse, if I were to lie about a patient, I would lose my job IMMEDIATELY and probably my license to practice as well.

How many times do we hear about prosecutors, witnesses and police doing something that implicates someone and it is a bold faced lie. I can't understand why when this happens they are still employed. The cop who decided to have sex with the main witness shouldn't have been demoted, he should have been fired. His actions risked the integrity of a capitol offense case. The prosecutor lied, she should have been fired and certainly shouldn't be able to practice law. And the damn dog handler with his circus show should have been prosecuted....wonder how many people weere convicted based on his lies? And all of the above was known at the time and no body did anything about it. Add to that "witnesses" who keep changing their stories.....I think anyone doing this at a trial should be prosecuted for obstructing. Like you, I am all for putting criminals in jail, but it's these tactics of prosecution at all costs that cause innocents to be convicted.

The state attorney doesn't care about innocent people. How about the people spending 1,5 or 10 years in jail who are innocent? What's really bad is when multiple witnesses lie and the state attorney takes their word at face value and the whole time these innocent people are sitting in jail asking how could this happen? All is takes is for the innocent to cross paths with manipulators and liers for this to occur. Watch your back always people!

Brevard County seems to have a lot of these error's. Somehow the check and balance is not working in this D.A's. office in Brevard.

Thank God

Thank God that Norm Wolfinger is in offce as State Attorney now. I don't think he'd allow that kind of crap to go on-- at least I HOPE he wouldn't.
What happened in that trial is despicable and a mockery of justice. It makes lawyers and police officers look bad when in reality, there are no more bad lawyers and cops than there are bakers and nurses.(Oh yeah, they can make you wait a LONG time for meds and then they think you're groggy and won't notice and they tell you they didn't say they were coming back in a minute, but if you have a family member there with a notepad writing it all down, you should see how they change!).

Rest assured that there is no way that Norm would have even filed on this case. He would not want to ruin his record.“Let’s Make A Deal” Norm could give Monty Hall a run for his money.

I spent a lot of years as a credible homicide detective. From my take on the evidence presented the case was a loser then and is a loser now. Everyone who was involved in the conviction should be looking at jail time themselves for lying under oath and malicious prosecution. Unfortunately, you can't choose your witnesses in murder cases, but as soon as you hear and can confirm your witnesses are lying or did lie, you better be alerting the prosecutor involved. If the prosecutor refuses to listen you go to the judge, if the judge refuses to listen you become a witness for the defense. I always was taught to follow the evidence and let it be your witness. It's a search for the truth not a win at all costs. If we in law enforcement loose our credibility we have nothing.

What goes on in the legal system and the courts are very scary along with the police that write the reports. They write their reports as they think they see it and it can be totally the opposite of what happened. A friend of mine spent 4 days in jail for driving on a suspened licence only to be released as her license was never suspened. Small stuff yes but it can happen to any of us. Oddly we can all go on line and know the license was valid but it took them 4 days. She is a senior citizen. Who do we trust?

The biggest single fault I see today with American justice is the race to give immunity to someone in exchange for a quick conviction to people who are equally guilty of the same crime they are hanging on their partners. The impetus upon expediency to get a conviction ends up handing out a few years t murderers or people who assist murderers. it has to stop.

Ambitious, intelligent attorneys start off in a local prosecutor's office, get a few years experience, and move into private practice. Pathetic misfits like the career Assistant State Attorney interviewed for this story couldn't survive in the real world and abuse the power of the State Attorney's office as some twisted ego boost. These guys give lawyers a bad name.
Ask any judge, former prosecutor, or current prosecutor with 2-10 years experience and they'll tell you the same.

Well, even when "prosecutor misconduct" finally gets the person fired, it still doesn't really hurt them...they are able to go on and have a successful career on Television. Just ask Nancy Grace who was fired for much the same reasons. She lied and withheld evidence in order to gain convictions. I definitely agree that they should be prosecuted for obstructing justice. Or at the very least, the "victims" should sue the prosecutor in civil court.

My Goodness!! This seems to add credibilty to my theory that sometimes the aledged criminals are law enforcement themselves. This county seems to have had a reputation for corruption and dishonesty for a very long time. Hopefully things are better now. Just convict some poor sucker to make the stats look good. Hell with the poor sucker, he is just one of society's underbellies, well the DA and the police have some of those too in their ranks. Some of these people in law enforcement should be in jail themselves. Demoted..... What A Crock!! I want to see criminal lock up if they did the crime----ALL of them.

There has to be something done to these DA's other than disbarment and a slap on the wrist. We need to "send a message" to them that if you put an innocent person in jail on flimsy/fabricated evidence you will take their place in prison. We put everybody in jail accept prosecutors and cops, it's time they started going too.These folks are worse than Nazi's or Stalinists and they are rampant in our government! It's not "liberal" to weed them out!

For years the legal system all together has been corrupt and it just goes to show you how truly corrupt the system is in Brevard county. Bill was railroaded. He is an innocent man locked and has missed out on over half of his life because of obsurded tactics to lock him up. The prosecutors had to look good and would do whatever it takes to keep those numbers up, and that they did. However, the bottom line is Bill is innocent and remains in prison. He needs to be released and justice needs to be served. Imagine what this would do to your family. Imagine what this would do to you as a person if you were 21 years old and facing life in prison for something you didn't do. It's un-just and people need to be paying the price for his lost time, especially when the lie under oath!! Free Bill!

Convicted in 1981 and still alive? This is BS. A life sentence? He should have been sentenced to death and executed within 6 months of conviction. Allowing murderers to live is much of whats wrong with this once great nation. When is Oba Chandler going to die for the Rodgers killings & Couey for the Lunsford murder.
