Can Prosecutors Be Sued By People They Framed?
by Nina Totenberg

November 4, 2009

Do prosecutors have total immunity from lawsuits for anything they do, including framing someone for murder? That is the question the justices of the Supreme Court face Wednesday.

On one side of the case being argued are Iowa prosecutors who contend "there is no freestanding right not to be framed." They are backed by the Obama administration, 28 states and every major prosecutors organization in the country.

On the other side are two black men — Terry Harrington and Curtis McGhee — men who served 25 years in prison before evidence long hidden in police files resulted in them being freed.

There are so many people who have framed by corrupt officials that it could fill a book.

I think in time spent in the pen should be considered time-served for anything you might do to some one that framed you.;) Kinda like a credit account.:)

The SCOTUS has been so perverted to its intent that anything that comes out of that body is inherently unconstitutional, therefore when will a State have the balls to enact Nullification. For crying out loud....
