A Quote by Christopher Darden

Most of the prosecutors I know are good people who are committed to protecting us from those who would prey on us. But these days, I sometimes run into prosecutors who just don't seem to have the character we used to have 20-30 years ago. People need to understand that prosecutors are lawyers, and like my grandmama once told me, a law degree is a license to lie.

I have complete confidence in the American people and our legal traditions and the prosecutors, the tough prosecutors from New York who specialize in terrorism.

Barack Obama

A large portion of American citizens, especially people of color, have lost confidence in our criminal justice system. Many have called for appointing special prosecutors when a police officer kills or injures a civilian. If you were elected president, would you publicly support special prosecutors in these cases and what is one other thing you would do to fix our broken justice system?

Russell Simmons

I've been told by the prosecutors and by my own attorneys I should go to law school. I guess I have a knack for it.

Monica Lewinsky

I have no respect for the prosecutors, the judges. And I say that not with malice in my heart. I say it because they took 30 years from me.

Anthony Ray Hinton

Prosecutors are all used to people who commit fraud making wild accusations when they're caught.

Prosecutors committed to reform need talented staff members who share that commitment, and our best legal talent should flock to their offices.

James Forman, Jr.

I think that sometimes the most intelligent things that prosecutors do is when they exercise their discretion not to go forward with a case.

Rudy Giuliani

We must continue to recruit progressive prosecutors to run in local elections, support those who do, and hold them accountable if they win.

James Forman, Jr.

One thing I know from personal experience, judges hate it when parties talk publicly about their cases. There are a lot of things about our criminal legal system that need to be changed, and this is just one of them. Prosecutors know how to play the press. Most defendants don't.

Michael Arrington

Prosecutors say my father was the biggest crime boss in the nation... If you really want to know what John Gotti was like, you need to talk to my family. We lived this life.

Victoria Gotti

Prosecutors use the conspiracy doctrine to punish two or more people who merely agree to commit a criminal act. They don't even have to actually perform the act; they just need to have agreed to do so.

Neal Katyal

The reason I like the criminal justice system is there aren't Republican or Democrat victims or police officers or prosecutors. It's about respect for the rule of law!

Trey Gowdy

We all hope that the police and prosecutors are objective. That's their job, but sometimes it's not true.

John Ridley

As you may know, I'm the co-founder of a political organization called Real Justice. Our goal is to help elect progressive, reform-minded prosecutors and district attorneys that are committed to ending mass incarceration.

Shaun King

Community partnerships need to be formed between law enforcement organizations, residents, schools, child-support services, prosecutors, religious leaders, businesses and other members of our society.
