lawReader Press Announces an exciting new book by LawReader Senior Editor Stan Billingsley.  Prosecutorial Accountability :  How the Courts and Legislature Protect Prosecutors from Accountability for Violations of Laws, Ethical Rules & Citizen’s Rights

• “This book provides a much needed and long overdue resource for every real criminal defense lawyer in Kentucky. Buy it, order extra copies for your fellow warriors at the defense bar, read it, cite it and use it in every case where you are called upon to act to defend your client…

• Judge Stan Billingsley’s treatise on Prosecutorial Accountability provides a thoughtful insight and historic background for discussing the creation of a Prosecutors’ Conduct Review Commission in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I applaud his efforts.

• The issues the judge discusses are of particular importance to the Commonwealth of Kentucky… Personally, if a case is reversed on the basis of prosecutor misconduct I would have the prosecutor pay the cost of the defense when he commits prosecutor misconduct from his personal checking account and preclude reimbursement from his employer. 

• This book is a call to action for prosecutors who have the will to do better; a call to action for defense attorneys to aggressively and thoroughly represent their clients; and a call to action for all of us to hold accountable those prosecutors who lack the will to do justice. I think this book should be required reading for all defense attorneys.

• The scales of justice are being increasingly tilted by the courts to favor the prosecutor and government at the expense of citizen’s constitutional rights.

• In this book Judge Billingsley examines the rulings of the courts which have created this growing imbalance of power, and suggests remedies for restoring the constitutional protections found in our Federal and State Constitutions. 

• “…acts of moral turpitude and constitutional transgression (by prosecutors) are routinely ignored by the Courts and ethics authorities.” ProsecutorialMisconduct.blogspot.com

• The growth of unchecked power of prosecutors is shockingly expressed by the following comments of three Justices of the Kentucky Supreme Court who voted to create absolute immunity for acts of Kentucky Prosecutors in a 1994 ruling:
