Real life imitates episode of Shark (well, sort of)

According to today’s New York Times (here), one of Morgenthau’s prosecutors says that he intentionally threw a case because he was convinced that the defendant wasn’t guilty. In the recently canceled CBS series Shark, James Woods’s character Sebastian Stark throws a case because he’s convinced that his client IS guilty (see here).Guess what, folks? Throwing a case is unethical, even if you’re convinced it’s the morally correct thing to do.(Nancy Rapoport)
