Summary John Oliver talks about an important but less widely known element of America's criminal justice system: 'Prosecutors'. Prosecutors hold a powerful influence over cases, but they do not have much accountability regarding their decisions. As nearly 95 percent of the cases that prosecutors decide to prosecute end up with the defendant pleading guilty without going to trial, prosecutors can easily abuse their power by withholding important evidence which may lead to wrongful convictions.
