Prosecutor's Power

Prosecutor's power to seek the death penalty - We all know that the prosecutor decided to seek the death penalty in this case. He didn't have to do that. If they don't file a notice of intent to seek death, the defendant gets an automatic life sentence. Have you ever asked yourself what criteria the prosecutor uses to exercise this omnipotent power to decree that the death penalty will be sought against some men who commit capital murder and not against others. I don't have that unfettered power to make that decision and I wouldn't want it.
