The DA’s sexting the victim was deplorable and he should removed from office but doesn’t this also raise issues regarding his ability to fairly prosecute the defendant?

But, really, his personal life has become a train wreck and I think it will now affect his work as a DA. Can you imagine being grilled by a defense attorney as to whether you hit on that domestic violence victim? He was very lucky this prosecution was not tainted. He should resign.
