O que ocorreu com o Senador Ted Stevens merece reflexão. O problema da ética na investigação criminal deveria ser objeto de análise que permitisse que os procedimentos não pudessem ser viciados. Entre nós é ainda matéria que permanece no armário. Por isso mesmo,vale a pena ler esta notícia do NYTimes:
The depth of prosecutorial misconduct in the 2008 trial of Senator Ted Stevens is shocking. An inquiry ordered by Judge Emmet Sullivan of Federal District Court in Washington has found “serious, widespread and at times intentional” concealment of evidence by the Justice Department that could have helped Mr. Stevens prove his innocence. The department has a separate inquiry that must point the way to repairing the public integrity section, which is responsible for prosecuting public officials.
