    Prosecutors have immunity. It’s next to impossible to win a lawsuit against one. We give immunity to too many people which prevents accountability and bad behavior.

      Normally yes, however the State bar is penalizing the prosecutor for misconduct in this case. Immunity has been removed for similar in the past, almost surely will happen for this case as well.

      An investigation by the Texas State Bar found this January that Ramirez had committed professional misconduct and fined him $1,250, as well as placing his license under probated suspension for one year, beginning Monday.
