BILL CURTIS
Actually, there have been cases where a prosecutor had been so overzealous that he broke the law repeatedly and it was public enough that s/he was disciplined. There have also been cases where District Attorneys have fired Assistant D.A.s who went too far. However, it is very rare. If a prosecutor is overzealous in trying to convince an innocent defendant, there is rarely any recourse.
