Boudin effectively did. It's not important whether it's false, it's impermissible. The legal process is not meant to tip the scales if a defendant is a leftist, rightist, rich or poor; a DA must be neutral and cannot position himself as a political partisan.

Wealth (of others) did set Rittenhouse free, so that statement was accurate. Glad we agree that politics and wealth should not tip the scales of justice. Unfortunately, in our cash bail system, wealth too often does.
