Of course, the fist protest you get is “he can’t say that”–a clear warning that someone is hiding something.  If the prosecutors were honest, they would respond with his concerns, claim they should not have control over trial scheduling–the court should do that, and also prosecute fairly and evenly.  The Sawyer case has made it clear, if you are not on a case, you can criticize the law, the case law, the statutes and whatever else you find that is not correct or which may be corrupted or corruptible.
