Prosecutors and police often have immunity from wrongful conviction lawsuits.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prosecutors have absolute immunity for actions taken while performing their official duties, and police often have qualified immunity, which protects them unless they violated a clearly established statutory or constitutional right that a reasonable person would have known. This makes it difficult to sue them for wrongful convictions directly related to their official functions.
