Do any DAs in any case seem to care at all about what they're doing to the future of anyone in the name of being "tough on crime?" Regardless of the situation.

It seem that a fair number of them consider their jobs as simply to prosecute the person in front of them, not get to any kind of truth or justice.

DA is a political stepping stone, so you convict everything in sight and hope your cases get press so you can shamelessly self promote your tough on crime image.
