If you make an error that ends up with someone else spending life in prison, it's not a minor error.

Depends on the available evidence and intent. Life is random and mistakes happen, in any job.

Some just have much more significant outcomes.

Also there's the risk of someone being set up as the fall person for the mistakes.

What if youre the prosecutor and you’re given false evidence by a cop who was given it by an informant?

The prosecutor and the cop didn’t know it was fake but also didn’t ask too many questions either.

Life in prison for both of them?
