Prosecuticide

The act of self contradiction in the plaintiffs or prosecution's case in a court of law, so violent and destructive to the case as to be viewed as practically proving the case of the defense.

The DA in the Rittenhouse trial committed ritualistic prosecuticide today in closing arguments when he stated the defendant should have used his fists to defend himself instead of the gun.

Prosecute the parents

Hey, if you find out the kid was bullied are you going to prosecute them too?

Hym "No? Just prosecute the parents and pretend your kids can't talk themselves into an early grave. Or that you can't do anything to get them killed."

Prosecution Bias

A specific form of Accusation Bias where one approaches debate like a prosecutor approaching a defendant—assuming guilt, seeking evidence of wrongdoing, and interpreting all responses through the lens of culpability. Prosecution Bias doesn't seek truth; it seeks conviction. The opponent isn't a fellow seeker; they're the accused. Every statement is scanned for admission of guilt, every question is cross-examination, every response is evidence of something. The bias transforms dialogue into trial—with the prosecutor as judge, jury, and executioner.

"She tried to explain her position, but he just kept asking 'yes or no' questions designed to corner her. Prosecution Bias: not understanding, but convicting. He wasn't there to learn; he was there to win a case. The problem is, she didn't know she was on trial—and he didn't care."

tagwall prosecution

Passive aggressive employees who do not have enough work to do post complaints about the behavior of other employees on the tagwall (telecom employee webpage supposed to be used for outages). Such as: "I wanted to thank whoever "borrowed" my chair from my desk while I was on vacation. Most important, I'd like to thank them for also stealing my brown ACD hoodie that was attached to it. I really appreciate working with trustworthy employees." - Chair was actually in a corner with hoodie hung over it; thus never really stolen. There are also many posts about dirty dishes and such.

"I am sick of people posting tagwall prosecution to bitch at eachother all day!"

Limited Prosecution

In the context of psychological operations akin to a "limited hangout" (a tactic of disclosing partial truths to obscure greater secrets), a prosecutorial strategy whereby authorities pursue charges against select individuals or aspects of a conspiracy, thereby preempting broader investigations, protecting key actors, and maintaining narrative control; often employed to simulate justice while concealing systemic involvement. See also selective prosecution.

Notable examples of limited prosecutions, based on historical records, include:

- Iran-Contra Affair (1980s): Select officials like Oliver North faced charges for arms sales and funding, shielding higher administration involvement.

- Abu Ghraib scandal (2004): Low-level U.S. soldiers were prosecuted for detainee abuse, while command-level accountability was minimal.

- HSBC money laundering (2012): The bank paid fines for aiding cartels, but no executives were charged, citing systemic risks.

These cases involved partial pursuits to contain broader scrutiny.
