>Legislating against what you term "prosecutorial misconduct" is far fetched. Can you imagine how you would word that legislation without hampering law enforcement efforts against the real bad guys? Do you really want that?

Maybe it's less about "legislating against" the specific conduct, and more about oversight on incumbent prosecutors and ease of removal when someone proves themselves unworthy of the considerable power with which they've been trusted.
