depending on the circumstances, I do think a prosecutor can play a pivotal role. There are examples of misconduct where a prosecutor fails to turn over exculpatory evidence that is so convincing as to make prosecution essentially impossible. It's true that the jury and judge make the decision, but there are cases where they would almost certainly have reached a different decision had the prosecution behaved ethically.
