>>Speaking of prosecutorial discretion, this NY Times article today is interesting (this is a re-trial; the doctor has already spent two years in jail): One of the goals of at least some prosecutions is to send a message to not to do "this". It seems to me that one of the failures of modern medicine in the US is the under treatment of pain - "old school". So here we have the prosecutor sending a clear message, don't treat extreme pain. Let the patients suffer. May the prosecutor* get justice: "a twisted cue, a cloth untrue, and elliptical billiard balls..." ij * Not saying here who was right, but Tierney did not portray the prosecutor favorably.
