I think there is a big distinction between legally culpable and morally culpable. Might the prosecutor be legally culpable for hounding Schwartz to the point of suicide? Almost certainly not. Is the prosecutor morally culpable? From what I've seen thus far, I'd tend to lean this way but there is a lot I do not yet know.
And as for the point about financial meltdown prosecution versus this sort of prosecution, uh, yeah. That's how the fucked up criminal justice system has worked for a long, long time. Next thing you know, white people might wake up to the war on drugs. Unlikely, but hey, you never know.
