Johnson Britt is the current district attorney in Robeson County, North Carolina. (Joe and Johnson share a last name because they have a common great-grandfather/great-great-grandfather.)
The elder Britt was commenting on what the younger Britt had said about him:
“He is a bully, and that’s the way he ran this office... People were afraid of him. Lawyers were afraid of him. They were intimidated by his tactics. And he didn’t mind doing it that way... You treat people with dignity, and you can get a whole lot more done that way than you can by trying to run over people. And that’s part of his legacy, that he ran over people.”The elder Britt thinks the new D.A. "just threw up his hands and capitulated, and the judge didn’t have any choice but to do what he did." And: "No question about it, absolutely [McCollum and Brown] are guilty."

Sounds to me like the elder Britt was incompetent, as well as being a bully, inasmuch as he railroaded two innocents while the likely guilty party was right under his nose.
That he refuses to consider--or, at least, admit--the innocence of these two men is entirely consistent with scores or more of detestable prosecutors who, in the face of many imprisoned persons who have been belatedly exonerated of guilt via DNA evidence, (and sometimes through other circumstances), refuse to consider--or, at least, admit--they sent innocent persons to prison for years or decades.

'Bully' is descriptively lame. How about 'callous mean peckerwood'?
"stuffed her panties down her throat with a stick". Stupid bastard who did that was free all this time, or presumably so.
"The 2 men have now been freed, and seemingly everyone but the elder Britt assumes they were innocent."
You mean concludes they were innocent, right?
Pussies, dicks and assholes. NSFW.
Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that.
But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us fuck this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit!
Adults shouldn't use the word "bully" to describe other adults.
Perhaps "prosecutorial ethics" is an oxymoron on the order of "government worker", "jumbo shrimp", and "civil war."
Just off the top of my head, I can think of five friends and relatives who were victims of fairly horrendous crimes that damaged their lives significantly. The perps were never caught, nor was their much effort to find them. There's lots of cruelty and injustice in this world, but only a tiny sliver of it is caused by prosecutorial misconduct.
I've lived through years and years of hard hitting journalism. These reporters on a mission always seem to miss the real story. You get lots of pictures of wounded Palestinian children but no pictures of a Hamas operative setting up a mortar in schoolyard. In The New Yorker there was a lengthy article about how an undercover police officer violated all the rules of fair play when he impregnated some woman while working in that capacity. It would never have occurred to that writer or her editors to do a lengthy article about how Pakistani cab drivers were committing horrendous sexual crimes on children......I get the sense that without half trying you could find far more pitiable stories in that same county about felons who made early parole and went on to destroy a few more lives.

Your remarks do not in the least mitigate the damage done by prosecutors who are incompetent, overzealous, corrupt, or more concerned with their career advancement than in seeing justice done, (or any combination of these).
Which is the bigger story: the corruption of the Lon Nol government in Cambodia or the fact that their opponents, the Pol Pot forces, were sociopathic mass killers. Isn't it a kind of journalistic malpractice to give exhaustive coverage to the flaws of one side and ignore the far more substantial defects of the other.
Yes, all that is necessary to conclude that they are innocent is to ignore their confessions and other evidence that led to their convictions - twice - beyond a reasonable doubt, in favor of an assumption that someone else, who didn't confess and was not convicted of the offense, probably did it.
Four factors ought to loom large in minds not committed to prosecutor bashing:
1. Innocent people arrested on the heels of an offense have alibis. Sympathetic news accounts of this "injustice" do not claim that these two men had one.
2. The DNA evidence did not exonerate the defendants. It only established the presence near the scene of a third party who lived in the neighborhood.
3. That third party, the alternate suspect, readily confessed to another rape murder for which he was sent to death row, but not the one for which these defendants were convicted. Why not?
4. Finally, convictions will not be sustained on this kind of review unless reversal is vigorously opposed by the prosecutor. The political pressure to "lay down" on a high profile case like this is as great as any to gain a conviction might be, particulary if the prosecutor is a Democrat and the pressure is from the black community.
The elder Britt was most likely right the new guy is a pussy.

"Assumes" is the better choice.
"...all that is necessary to conclude that they are innocent is to ignore their confessions and other evidence that led to their convictions...."
Confessions can be and are coerced or wheedled out of suspects who are not guilty. Everyone knows this.
"Innocent people arrested on the heels of an offense have alibis."
????
And this is just magically and always true? Do you tell yourself such lies to more easily ignore that innocent people are convicted of crimes?
End. Qualified. Immunity.
Justice in the South (for White as well as Black) has always been a flickering shadow on a sheet draped across the bars. This includes Texas, BTW.
The police in the South are especially ignorant and vicious toward their own "lower class" rivals. But anyone can fall into their clutches.
I grew up there, went to school there and escaped to practice law elsewhere.
