Duke Prosecutor's Head Not In The Game

So, if you're putting two young men on trial that will effect them for the rest of their lives, do you really think you should be a prosecutor at all if you make statements like "I was not always able to give the case my full attention." While I understand that the prosecutors office may be swamped with other cases, you simply can't put people on trial that could send them to jail for a very long time unless your head's in the game. Perhaps this guy should seek another line of work.

Let's say that the young men on trial are guilty, if he's not giving the case his full attention, they may get off on a lighter sentence because he may miss crucial evidence or not push evidence hard enough. Let's say the young men are innocent, he's now ignoring evidence that they don't belong in jail. If I don't give my job the full attention it deserves, I'm hauled into my boss's office and yelled at, which seems to be the case as we speak.
