Doing her job? Please see the movie "Judgement at Nuremberg" regarding "I was just doing my job". Seriously, see this movie.

And, "no less"? On the contrary, all prosecutors do substantially less. They don't actually apply the law most of the time, if they did, we'd probably all be in prison. See this book:

Wow. If you seriously believe that the suicide of a mentally unstable defendant in a criminal trial, imputes the same level of human rights abuse as racial genocide then I really won't be able to change your mind.

Wow. If you can't discern a principle when shown something of a different degree, then I really think you're a complete idiot.
