My 2 cents on Judges and prosecutors

[YoursTruly]

There needs to be a law holding judges, DA's and prosecutors accountable for going to lenient on criminals. So many times we've seen criminals turned lose on the streets after a substantial record proves they're simply not fit for society. Like that guy who plowed through that parade and killed people. The dude was a mad man who never should've been let lose to start with.
And in this case.

DA slammed after homeless man released on violent offense charged with murder​

I'm not sure what kind of punishment these judges, DA's and prosecutors should face, since they're not the ones who are actually committing the crimes. But if they turns a violent criminal lose, and that person creates another victim, nothing what so ever happens to those responsible for turning them lose.
Obviously putting them in jail would create a huge back log of cases, since they'd be locked up.

So what's the solution? Should these people be fined, censured or what? If it was rare for this to happen, it wouldn't be too big of a deal. But seems this is happening a LOT now days.

On the flip side, if a "not guilty" verdict is read in one of the trials where Trump is being persecuted, shouldn't the prosecutor be held accountable?

WTF does Trump have to do with this?

This exists already, it's called the LEGISLATURE. They can set minimum sentences for crimes....

Problem is to many judges are legislating from the bench.

Well, the US has a system of checks and balances.... that it's not working well has a lot to do with the electoral system that leads to only two parties. This means less oversight that countries with Proportional Representation.
