TEFLON ROBES
JUDICIAL AND PROSECUTORIAL CORRUPTION IN AMERICA-AND THE HARRIS COUNTY EPICENTER
TEFLON ROBES
Judicial and Prosecutorial Corruption in America—and the Harris County Epicenter
What happens when the people entrusted to administer justice are the ones accused—or found guilty—of violating it?
Teflon Robes is a documented investigation into judicial and prosecutorial misconduct in America and the systems responsible for holding the most powerful members of the justice system accountable.
The book opens with the extraordinary case of Michael Morton, who spent twenty-five years in prison for a murder he did not commit. The prosecutor who concealed evidence pointing toward another killer ultimately served just five days in jail. From there, Teflon Robes follows the evidence into a much larger question: Was Morton an extraordinary exception—or an example of a much deeper accountability problem?
Drawing from court decisions, disciplinary records, government reports, legal scholarship, investigative reporting, and documented cases, No Filter America examines allegations and findings involving hidden evidence, constitutional violations, wrongful convictions, conflicts of interest, judicial misconduct, prosecutorial misconduct, disciplinary secrecy, and institutional protection.
The investigation moves from the federal justice system to state accountability mechanisms before arriving in Harris County, Texas, where Teflon Robes examines a series of cases, controversies, judges, prosecutors, and institutional failures within one of the largest justice systems in America.
This is not a claim that every judge is corrupt or every prosecutor engages in misconduct.
It is an investigation into something more fundamental:
When judges and prosecutors cross the line, who actually holds them accountable?
And what happens when the institutions charged with policing misconduct are themselves part of the same system?
