Why just public defenders? Why not hold prosecutors personally liable, with equal punishment to the one they allege, when they charge people for "crimes" they damn well know they shouldn't be? Start putting heads on pikes and maybe they'll learn their lessons. Whether figuratively or literally I don't care. The first and foremost people responsible for the utter horseshit our "justice" system is are the prosecutors.

Good point. There should definitely be laws against malicious prosecution.

Lets start with laws against malicious arrests.
