\"\...during her time as California\'s top cop, she contributed to that history by repeatedly going to bat for dirty prosecutors.\
\
Her office appealed the dismissal of a case in which a prosecutor had fabricated a confession to secure a conviction and fought an appeal in a case where the prosecutor lied to a jury during trial. In 2015, Harris tried to stop the removal of the Orange County District Attorney\'s office from a murder trial after it repeatedly failed to turn over evidence to the defense.\
\
Her office even tried to keep a man in jail who had been wrongfully incarcerated for 13 years---even after a judge ruled he had proven himself innocent---because the man hadn\'t delivered the proof fast enough.\
\
And as San Francisco District Attorney, Harris hid known misconduct by a crime lab technician who admitted to deliberately tainting evidence. The debacle has since led to the dismissal of hundreds of criminal cases.\
\...\
As California Attorney General, Harris opposed marijuana legalization as late as 2014, promoted civil asset forfeiture without a conviction as a way to fight drug rings, and sought to more aggressively police prescription drug use.\"\
