I'm not sure you really understand the full reason behind why prosecutorial misconduct occurs - you've got a very "sunshine and roses" thought process, which leads me to believe you've never really spent much time dealing with anything related to criminal prosecution . . . oh, and here's a related note: once these guys are freed, it's cash-in time for various plaintiffs' attorneys nationwide (many of whom specialize in this kind of work).
No one's hands are clean here - and those vacated sentences? Not always because of unilateral innocence.
