...Ethics for Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys Phillip C. Moore U.S. Courts Professor Shenia C. Kirkland, Esq. January 29, 2013 Ethics has been defined in many ways, but one true definition remains elusive when attempting to obtain a clear and concise meaning of ethics. For this paper, ethics will be defined as rules of conduct in regard to specific actions as administered by a particular group of people; i.e. medical or Christian ethics (Webster, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to address two cases in which the prosecutor and defense attorney violated the Attorney Professional Code of Conduct. This paper will summarize the facts of the case and detail the duties of either the prosecutor or defense attorney; determine which duties were breached and what should have happened to bring them in compliance; and will deduce both the personal and professional ramifications of their actions. The first case to be discussed will be one that the Innocence Project appealed on behalf of Ralph Armstrong in Dane County Wisconsin. Ralph was convicted of the rape and murder of college student Charise Kamps in 1981. For the duration of his twenty eight year incarceration, Ralph maintained he was innocent. An internet search of the trial proceedings and how the jury reached their verdict of guilty in the original trial proved to be a dead end. However, the Innocence Project website and several news agencies provided the information on how the prosecutorial misconduct...
