70. So Holder should ignore the Justice Dept's misconduct and plow ahead with sentencing?
That simply makes no sense. There was fairly significant misconduct by the prosecutors in this case, and it would be unethical for Holder to push ahead in this case knowing that there is almost no possibility that the conviction would stand on appeal. This has nothing to do with either "Judicial discretion" or the Seventh Amendment.
The fact that Stevens is a crooked son-of-a-bitch who doesn't deserve our pity doesn't change that one bit.
