Linus is not dead wrong. This should not be reduced to simple binary. To argue whether or not Linus is technically right or wrong seems pointless to me.

Tangentially, it really bothers me that there is even such a job as Government Prosecutor. Government should not have a self-interest. The system really is fubar, the only solution is probably 'rm -rf /'. At some point in Carmen Ortiz's life, she decided to devote her life to becoming a government prosecutor. That in and of itself speaks of her character. Whether or not she is lying in this particular instance is irrelevant, this is who she is, this is what she does, this is what she chose to devote her life to.

(Of course she's lying! She a prosecutor for chrissakes! AND she works for the government! Did she open her mouth? That means she's lying!)

Ignoring the personal attacks and hyperbole in your post: In a system without government prosecutors who do you think should prosecute for crimes? Should a murder victims family have to hire a private attorney to file a civil lawsuit? If they can't afford it, will the murderer go free? Please think your argument through to the end before taking cheap shots against the government in general.
