As for the issue of jury selection, isn't the Defense also looking for jurers who would be more sympathetic towards Libby? This jury selection process doesn't seem to be different than any other.



The prosecution, as an agent of the state, is generally given less leeway in litigation because of the need to safeguard the rights of the accused.

Furthermore, under the code of legal ethics, while a defense attorney is required to advocate for his or her client, a prosecutor is expected to act in the interests of justice even if it means he or she might lose the case.


I think you're confusing prosecuters with daredevil stuntmen.
Prosecutors are given a wide range of power, from the Naval battleships to, yes, Ninjas.
Any prosecuter who fails to win a case is sent to a farm upstate where the American people are told it is running free, but in reality they are shot in the head and turned into hot dogs.

Bow ties are coool.
