    Disbarment doesn’t even qualify as a slap on the wrist.
    This woman should rot in jail for the combined sentences of everyone she ever prosecuted.
    It wasn’t just the one guy they know about that she framed, she had a habit of going around legal protections for defendants and it’s likely that there are many people serving much longer sentences than they deserved or sentences they never deserved at all.
