Prosecutors protect their own
Spokane County Deputy Prosecutor Brian O’Brien (letters, March 28) raved with praise for the past victories in court by Prosecutor Larry Steinmetz as if this past record would excuse his shameful failure attempting to convict Jay Olsen.
I would compare that to a driver of many years with a perfect driving record who, when he later makes a stupid mistake and kills someone, should be able to walk away blameless. It appears prosecutors hang together like the police when one errs.
