Too Bad We Don't Toss Corrupt Prosecutors Like Ferguson, Missouri's McCullough in Guantanamo
American prosecutors have such a nasty habit of manufacturing evidence that now since DNA testing has appeared on the scene, it seems like every week or so prisoners (mostly black) are being released from life sentences for crimes they did not commit. Why don't we just round up the bad apples and send them to Guantanamo? I'm not suggesting anybody waterboard these crooks. I'm merely saying that they should be physically separated from the criminal justice system. And the Guantanamo solution would be humane since tossing corrupt former prosecutors in prison with the general inmate population would probably be a death sentence.
Without a doubt, candidate #1 could be Bob McCullough. He is the prosecutor who singlehandedly fueled racial tensions in Ferguson and around the country by manipulating the Grand Jury and presenting a primary witness, whom he knew from FBI reports to be giving false testimony, which was incendiary, racist and psychopathic. According to a recent dairy in DailyKos:

According to a recent dairy in DailyKos:
So how did Bob McCulloch justify this criminal act? In a radio interview, McCullough said that he decided to allow witnesses to testify "even if their statements were not accurate." In this way he lumped together actual eyewitness accounts of people struggling to remember details of what had happened with those of a woman whom he knew was dozens of miles away from the scene of the crime and only came forth because of racial feelings that drove her to boost the story given by the policeman Darren Wilson. However, this was the only witness quoted hundreds of times on Fox News and by Sean Hannity as evidence that the Wilson was not responsible for the unarmed teenager's death.
Since releasing an additional batch of documents from the grand jury proceedings, the public has learned that one witness in particular, Sandra McElroy, also popularly known as witness #40, was thoroughly discredited in her interrogation by the FBI a month before she ever appeared on two separate occasions before the grand jury.
In this interrogation, the FBI proved that McElroy, whose testimony would eventually mirror Wilson's better than any other witness, was never actually at the scene of the shooting and had concocted an elaborate and preposterous hoax of a narrative on why she was there, how she drove in, how she mysteriously drove off the scene, how she saw the entire incident from close range, how nobody could confirm her being there, how she had a deep and ugly racist history, and so much more. By the time she finished her interview with the FBI, McElroy had perjured herself not one or two times, but well over 100 times. Her story, insulting, demeaning, and fundamentally outrageous was completely debunked by the FBI over and over again, yet Bob McCulloch, fully aware of this, called her not once, but twice as a witness.
