If a prosecutor is not convinced that the person they are prosecuting is guilty to some degree, then they have no duty prosecuting that person.

After all, it's often the prosecutor's job to bring the case to the court.

Once they have brought the case to the court, then evidence decides the outcome.

    They want her removed because her social media posts indicate that she's presuming the guilt of the accused beforehand. It calls her objectivity into question, and that's a pretty big deal, as we want a prosecution to follow actual evidence, not manifest biases.

    Even if people's social media algorithms tell them otherwise.

    They want her removed because she's the prosecutor and she said she was going to prosecute?

    Why not throw out the judge for judging while you're at it?
